Unlisted cards are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion
cards that do not have configuration files stored in the
ICU database.
NOTE: If you want to add a configuration file that you
received on diskette with a new expansion card, see
“Adding a Listed Card” found earlier in this chapter.
To add an unlisted card with the ICU, perform the follow-
ing steps:

found earlier in this chapter.
2. From the ICU window, click Add or select

want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click

A dialog box appears listing the names of all avail-
able cards of that type.

from the bottom of the list
of cards displayed in the dialog box that appears.
Then click OK.

uration file for the card.
The Configure Unlisted Card dialog box appears
with blank fields.

in the
CARD NAME
field.

click the box beneath the name of the resource to
be assigned and then click Add.
For example, if you click the box beneath INTER-
RUPT (IRQ)

When you click this button, a Specify dialog box (in
this case, Specify Interrupt) appears. Figure 3-7
