When the utility has finished loading, the ICU window (see Figure 4 - 1 ) is displayed. 4 . Add, modify, or remove a card, or view resources for a card or other device.
Preparing to Use the ICU Before using the ICU for the first time, you must complete the following steps: 1 . If your system includes Dell - installed software, make a program diskette of the ICU from the diskette image on your hard - disk drive.
Figure 4 -1. ICU Window 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 4 - 1.
4 . Select the name of the card you want to add. If the card is not listed, see " Adding an Unlisted Card ". 5 . If you want the ICU to select the resources for the card, click OK. Otherwise, skip to step 6. The ICU uses the default resources set by the card manufacturer whenever possible.
Figure 4 -5. Available Settings List Box 9 . To change individual resource values for the current configuration setting, select the resource value that you want to change and click the Options button located below the resource values (see Figure 4 - 6).
3 . Click the name of the category of card that you want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click OK. A dialog box appears, listing the names of all available cards of that type. 4 . Select Unlisted Card from the bottom of the list of cards displayed in the dialog box that appears.
Figure 4 - 9. Specify I/O Port Dialog Box 8 . When you have finished selecting resources for the unlisted card, click OK in the Configure Unlisted Card dialog box. A message box appears, notifying you either that the card is using its default settings or that it cannot use its default settings and must be reconfigured.
You have completed this procedure; do not proceed to step 5. 5 . To add, modify, or remove a resource value, select the box beneath the resource to be assigned, and then click Add, Modify, or Remove, respectively.
Viewing Resources The ICU displays all resources currently used by your system. To view all system resources, select System Resources from the View menu or click View. The System Resource Usage dialog box (see Figure 4 - 10) displays all resources currently used by the system.
The ICU includes a locking mechanism that enables you to allocate the system resources for all or for some functions of Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards. These expansion cards are dynamic , which means that they are allocated resources at system start - up.

Figure 10 - 2. Removing the Front Bezel While pressing the tab release, tilt the bezel away from the chassis, disengage the two retaining hooks at the bottom of the bezel, and carefully pull the bezel away from the chassis. To replace the bezel, fit the two retaining hooks on the bezel into their corresponding slots at the bottom of the chassis.
When installing a drive, you connect two cables - a DC power cable and an interface cable - to the back of the drive. Your drive's power input connector (to which you connect the DC power cable) resembles the connector shown in Figure 10 - 4. Figure 10 -4.
1 . Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation. CAUTION: Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer. Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer system.
To further ensure proper positioning of the drive in the chassis, insert and tighten all four screws in the order in which the holes are numbered (the holes are marked "1" through "4"). 6 . Slide the new drive into the drive bay until it snaps securely into place (see Figure 10 - 8).
See " Removing and Replacing Front - Panel Inserts " found earlier in this chapter. 12 . Replace the front bezel according to the instructions in " Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel " found earlier in this chapter.
Installing an EIDE Hard - Disk Drive in the Internal Hard - Disk Drive Cage Install an EIDE hard - disk drive in the hard - disk drive bracket as follows: 1 . If you are replacing a hard - disk drive that contains data you want to keep, be sure to make a backup of your files before you continue with this procedure.
Figure 10 -11. Inserting a 1 - Inch Hard - Disk Drive Into the Bracket 9 . Reinstall the hard - disk drive bracket into the chassis (see Figure 10 - 12). Insert the bracket into the drive cage by sliding it in until the tabs snap into place. Rotate the drive cage door up and toward the chassis until it snaps securely into place.
Figure 10 -13. Attaching Hard - Disk Drive Cables 12 . If the other end of the EIDE cable is not already connected, connect it to the IDE1 connector on the system board. CAUTION: You must match the colored strip on the EIDE cable with pin 1 on the IDE1 connector to avoid possible damage to your system.
NOTE: When using the Windows NT operating system with the FAT 16 file system, the primary partition for each hard - disk drive can be no larger than 2 gigabytes (GB). Extended partitions can be larger than 2 GB, but each logical drive within an extended partition must be no larger than 2 GB.

An important point after buying a device Dell 610 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought Dell 610 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data Dell 610 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, Dell 610 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get Dell 610 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of Dell 610, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime Dell 610.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with Dell 610. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device Dell 610 along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
