Modifying resource allocation for a device

You can choose from pre-set resource allocations defined by the card's manufacturer, or manually modify those settings, by using the Edit feature of the ISA PnP Configuration Manager.

When you click on Edit, a list of resource descriptions and resource settings appear for the selected device.

Resource descriptions might include:

Current

the current state of the device when you entered the manager

Good

a set of resource settings designed to work well with this device

Acceptable

another set of resource settings designed to work well with this device

Sub-Optimal

resource settings which will work, but are not as optimal as the other choices

To select or change settings:

1. Click on a set of resource settings.

   • To accept these settings, click on OK.

   • To modify these settings, choose a value from the active pull-down menus. In some cases, only one choice is available.

     When you are finished modifying settings, click on OK.

2. If you click on OK and the changes you made do not conflict with other devices on your system, you return to the main window, where the device now appears with a check mark icon.

   If the changes you made do conflict with other devices on your system, the Possible Conflicts window appears.

3. After you return to the main window, you must apply these changes and relink the kernel.
