Dell 610 Viewing Resources, Saving the System Configuration, Exiting the ICU

Viewing Resources

The ICU displays all resources currently used by your system.

To view all system resources, select System Resources from the View menu or click View. The System Resource Usage dialog box (see Figure 4-10) displays all resources currently used by the system.

To determine which card uses a particular resource shown in the System Resource Usage dialog box, select the resource in question and then click Used By Card. The Card Resource Usage dialog box appears with the information.

To view the resources that a particular card is using, select the card from the list displayed in the ICU window, and then select Card Resources from the View menu or click View. The Card Resource Usage dialog box displays the resources assigned to that card. Figure 4-11 shows resources that might be assigned to a network adapter card.

You can save the information displayed in the resource usage dialog box by clicking Print To File. The ICU then prompts you for a filename.

Saving the System Configuration

You can save the system configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) as you configure each card's resources. To do so, select Save from the File menu and continue with your operation.

Exiting the ICU

At the ICU window, select Exit from the File menu to exit the utility. If you have made any changes to the system configuration, you are asked whether you want to save the changes.

If you click Yes, the ICU saves the updated system configuration information into NVRAM. If you click No, you exit the ICU without saving any of your configuration changes. If you click Cancel, nothing is saved and the utility continues to operate.
