Solving Hardware Installation Problems

You may need to reconfigure the workstation when you add or remove
hardware, such as an additional diskette drive. If you install a plug and
play device, some operating systems automatically recognize the device
and configure the workstation. If you install a non–plug and play device,
you must reconfigure the workstation after installing the new hardware.
Problem

recognized as part of
the system.
