4. BIOS SETUP ISA MEM Block BASE [No/ICU] This field allows you to set the base address and block size of a legacy ISA card that uses any memory segment within the C800 and DC00 address range. If you have such a card, and you are not using an ICU to specify its address range, select a base address from the six available options; the ISA MEM Block SIZE field will then appear for selecting the block size. If you have more than one legacy ISA card in your system that requires to use this address range, you can increase the block size to either 8K, 16K, 32K, or 64K. If you are using an ICU to accomplish this task, leave ISA MEM Block BASE to its default setting of [No/ICU].
