Chapter 7: Adding And Removing Adapter Cards And Drives - IBM Aptiva Series Handbook

Adding and removing adapter cards and drives
Before you begin working with the hardware inside your
system unit, read the following sections:
"Evaluating your new hardware" on page 6-1
This section contains the information you need to
understand about potential system resource conflicts.
Your new hardware might attempt to use a resource that
is already assigned to other hardware.
"Planning your hardware changes" on page 6-3
This section contains important information about
planning for hardware changes and recording changed
hardware settings. You can avoid repeated steps if you
follow the recommendations in this section.
"Resolving resource conflicts" on page 6-3
This section will help you prevent potential system
resource conflicts when you install additional adapter
cards or drives.
Resolving conflicts with installed
adapter cards
If you purchased a computer with an installed modem card,
this section can help you resolve some potential conflicts
between your new hardware and the card.
Using the Windows 95 Device Manager and the
documentation that came with your new hardware, compare
the resources used by the installed modem card and the
new hardware. If both devices attempt to use the same
resource, refer to the new hardware's documentation to
change the resource used by the new hardware.
If the resource for the new hardware cannot be changed,
change the resource for the modem card in the Device
Manager.
