ISA Configuration Utility (ICU)

The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is a software product that enables ISA-specification extended boards not conforming to Plug and Play to be used correctly in the system equipment. When you expand your system, make appropriate settings in the Setup Menu and use the ICU to perform configuration. The settings are stored in nonvolatile memory of the system equipment.

It is recommended that the user configure the ISA card first, using the ICU, before installing it in the system.

In one of the following cases, start the ICU and make settings.
