Completing the installation
After working with options, you need to reinstall any removed parts, replace the
cover, and reconnect cables, such as power cords and monitor cables. Also,
depending on the option installed, you might need to update information in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program or install device drivers. For instructions on how
to install device drivers, see the instructions that come with the option. Some device

For information on error messages from resource conflicts, see "Diagnostics" on
page 17 and "Symptom-to-FRU index" on page 83.
Configuring Plug and Play adapters
Adapters designed for PCI slots are Plug and Play devices. Plug and Play adapters
come with configuration specifications set in the operating system. These
specifications provide installation information to the computer during startup. When
you install or remove Plug and Play adapters, this information is interpreted by the
basic input/output system (BIOS) code, which supports Plug and Play technology. If
the required resources are available, the BIOS code automatically configures the
adapter using resources not used by other devices. The system board of the
computer supports operating systems that use Plug and Play technology.
For more information on error messages from resource conflicts, see "Diagnostics"
on page 17 and "Symptom-to-FRU index" on page 83.
