If the .cfg file for the expansion card you are installing is not on the diskette, select Generic ISA Board from the list of configuration files. NOTE: Alternatively, if you know the resources used by the expansion card, you can press and bring up a menu that lets you create the .cfg file. For all ISA expansion cards, use the Step 4: Examine Switches or Print Report option (under the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu) to check the switch and jumper settings on the new card. Configure the new card as indicated before it is installed in your computer. Remember to save a printout or written copy of your new configuration. The utility may prompt you to check the jumper and switch settings on the new card. Follow the online instructions to see an illustration of the new card's settings.
