System configuration is the process of specifying the devices
and programs that make up a computer system. When you add
or remove optional equipment, you must reconfigure the
computer to recognize these changes.
If you install a plug and play device, Windows 95 automatically
recognizes the device and configures the computer. If you install
a non–plug and play device, or if the device is not automatically
detected after installation, you must reconfigure the computer
after completing installation of the hardware. In Windows 95,
select the Add New Hardware icon in the Control Panel and
follow the instructions on the screen.
To reconfigure the computer in Windows NT Workstation 4.0,
use the software utility provided with the newly installed
hardware.
To install optional equipment, you must remove the computer
cover to gain access to internal components. The quick release
cover latches located on the sides of the computer allow easy
removal of the computer cover without the use of tools. To
remove the cover, follow these steps:
1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer
Setup to unlock it.
2. Turn off the computer and any external devices.
