Configuring a Virtual Machine's Hardware
To configure the virtual hardware inside a virtual machine, click the Hardware tab. The Hardware page appears.
The Hardware page lists the virtual hardware in the virtual machine — configured devices like the virtual disk; removable devices like floppy, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives; virtual network adapters and memory allocated to the virtual machine.
You can configure each virtual hardware component. Most hardware can be configured only when the virtual machine is powered off.
