 You can't - unless you mean setting IRL for a table - but this only works on
the last page for inserts.

SQL Server can do record-level locking in limited circumstances during
inserts, but other than that, you have to pad the records with dummy CHAR
fields to make them big enough to use a full page each (at least, that works
in Access, and should work in SQL Server as well).  Of course, you wouldn't
want to do this with big tables, it's pretty much only practical for batch
tables.
