ofthe screenbeforeclickingonthebutton.Youcanaddonlyas many ISA boardsas there
are ISA slots available.
1. From the SSU main window, launch the RCA by selecting the Resources task under
the RCA heading in the task box.
2. When the RCA window appears, it displays messages similar to the following:
Baseboard: System Board
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 00 -– Host Processor Bridge
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 0D –- Multifunction Controller
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 0F –- Ethernet Controller

5. Save all changes by clicking Save. Saving writes your current configuration to
nonvolatile storage where it will be available to the system after every reboot.
6. Closing the window by clicking on the system menu (the dash in the upper-left
corner) discards all changes.
Defining an ISA Board
An ISA board usually comes with a vendor-created .CFG file that specifies the resources
the card requires to function properly. If the .CFG file is unavailable, you must manually
create it or define the board through the SSU. Defining an ISA board consists of
specifying the name of the board and the resources it consumes. This allows the RCA to
consider the ISA board resource requirements when the RCA tries to resolve conflicts.
BIOS also uses this information to configure hardware when the system is booted.
1. To add or remove ISA board resources, click on the appropriate resource buttons,
select the desired value, and click Add or Remove.
2. After you complete the necessary information, click Save.
