When you lock an expansion card, the RCU cannot change the resources allocated to that card. Unlocking the card allows the system to change the resources automatically as new cards are added. The default for the Lock/Unlock Boards category is Unlocked. Dell recommends that you keep your cards unlocked so that the RCU can do its job properly.

NOTE: If changes are made to the hardware or System Setup configuration, locks may not be maintained.
