Configuring Accessory Boards
When you start your PC after installing a Plug and Play accessory
board, the BIOS automatically detects which hardware resources
(IRQs, DMAs, memory ranges, and I/O addresses) are used by the
system-based components.
If you install an ISA accessory board that is not Plug and Play you will
need to configure the board before your PC can use it.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the operating system for
details on your operating system's capabilities and restrictions
concerning how to configure non-Plug and Play accessory boards.
All PCI accessory boards are Plug and Play, although not all ISA boards
are. Check the accessory board's documentation if you are unsure.
Tips for Installing an Accessory Board
For detailed instructions on installing an accessory board, refer to the
Upgrade and Maintenance Guide for your PC (which is part of the
MIS Kit described on page 40).
Ensure that you disconnect the computer's power supply cord and
•
any connection to a telecommunications network before removing
the cover.
