Making Selections in the ICU
The ICU window is the main window of the utility and the starting point for making expansion-card changes.
This window lists all non- Plug and Play ISA, Plug and Play, and PCI expansion cards currently installed in
the computer. The ICU window contains menus and a tool bar, as shown in Figure 1. When you choose a
course of action, the ICU displays dialog boxes to guide you through the various steps.

You can maneuver through each menu and dialog box using a mouse. If a mouse is not available, you can
use the keys shown in Table 1.
Each menu and menu option has an underlined character in its name; when you press the <Alt> key in
conjunction with the key for the underlined character, that menu or menu option is selected.
