The NIC appears as part of the group in the Load Balancing/RSL list box.
If you click

repeatedly, NICs are added to the group in the order that they
are listed after the first NIC you selected.
Specifying a Dedicated
IP Address
Bidirectional load balancing requires that you specify a dedicated IP address for the
load balancing group. This address specifies a Network ID and a Host ID, and it
must be unique (not used elsewhere on the network). For example:
You can specify the dedicated IP address in the Create Group or Group Properties
dialog boxes. You cannot specify the bytes for the Network ID; they are fixed.
Specify the bytes for the Host ID for various classes of subnets as follows:
Byte 1
Byte 2
Byte 3
Byte 4
