The configuration (.cfg) file used by the ICU for this card is now invalid or does not exist. Do you wish to load the file?

No configuration (.cfg) file exists for the card being modified. Do you want to load one?

This is an EISA system. Use an ECU, not the ICU, to configure your system.

You have added a card using settings different from factory default. Reconfigure the card to the settings in the next display (see the card's manual) before installing it.

This message appears when you try to add a listed card and the configuration file for this card has been corrupted or deleted from the database. This message appears when you modify a card and its configuration file does not exist or has been deleted.

This message appears if you attempt to run the ICU on an EISA system.

This message can appear in two situations:

You added an ISA expansion card, selected OK, and the ICU had to use resource values different from the card's defaults to avoid conflicts.

You added an ISA expansion card, selected Advanced, and chose resource values different from the card's defaults.

If you cannot resolve the resource conflict by any of the preceding methods, remove the new card. If you were modifying an existing card, reset the modified card to its previous resource value.

You can get a copy of the configuration file from the original ISA Configuration Utility Diskette that you used to create the backup ICU diskette. Use the following procedure:

1.Insert the original ISA Configuration Utility Diskette into drive A.

2.Change to the db subdirectory on the diskette drive.

3.Use a text editor to search the icu.ndx file for the card ID of the card you want to add or modify.

The name of the configuration file is part of this card ID. For example, if the card ID is ICU0200, the configuration file is !icu0200.cfg.

4.Copy the configuration file from the original ICU diskette to the backup diskette.

To use the ICU, you must load the utility onto a non- EISA system.

Make a note of the new card configuration shown in the Card Resource Usage dialog box displayed after this message. Change jumper settings on the ISA expansion card to match the new card configuration.

NOTE:For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the "Glossary".

Configuration Manager Messages

The Configuration Manager for the ICU identifies problems following the system boot routine and generates messages if necessary. These messages alert you to any unsuccessful attempts to configure Plug and Play or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards, as well as any problems that interfere with the operation of the Configuration Manager. If you receive a message from the Configuration Manager, see Table C-2 for suggestions on resolving any problems indicated by the message.
