The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is used by the system to track what expansion
cards are installed and what resources are used. With this information, the system
automatically configures Plug and Play expansion cards and Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards and can tell you how to configure non-Plug and
Play Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion cards manually by setting
jumpers or switches. Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards do not contain jumpers
and switches; they are configured only through software in the basic input/output
system (BIOS).

NOTE: The Windows NT operating system does not provide full Plug and Play
support. Therefore, some Plug and Play cards (such as modem, sound, and network
cards) may not work with Windows NT. If your system is running a Dell-installed
Windows NT operating system and you want to use Plug and Play cards, Dell
recommends that you use the card manufacturer’s configuration utility to set the
card to legacy mode, enter the card’s resources through the manufacturer’s utility,
and then use the ICU to add the Plug and Play card to your system configuration.
On systems with a Dell-installed Windows NT operating system, the ICU is installed
on the hard-disk drive as a diskette image. Use the Program Diskette Maker (located
in the
Dell Accessories
program folder) to make an ICU diskette from this diskette
image.
The remainder of this chapter describes the various features of, and the various ways
to use, the ICU.
