3. In the left-hand menu, select a partition.

   The selected partition's name is bolded and has a dark box next to the name. Such as .

5. Click OK. Reassign resources as needed (see Assign Resources to the Partition).
6. Otherwise, if you are finished, click Next. Then, review and apply the configuration changes.
