Configuring the card

Part of the installation procedure for ISA expansion cards, and some
PCI cards, involves setting up or configuring the card so it works
correctly in the computer. To configure, you assign values to various

Most PCI cards employ a feature called Plug and Play or PnP. This
allows Windows 95 (and other PnP-aware operating systems) to
configure the card automatically when you turn on the computer.
In this case, manual configuration may not be required.
If manual configuration is required, you will probably need to
specify at least two of the following:

The important thing to understand is that the settings used by the
card must be different from the settings used by the other hardware

Description
This slot can accommodate a full-length PCI or ISA
card (a full-length card is one that runs the full
length of the computer from front to back).
If you are installing a drive controller card that you
want to connect to a drive in the removable-media
drive bay, it is easiest to install the card in the top
slot.
This slot can accommodate a full-length ISA card.
This slot can accommodate a half-length ISA card
(only half-length because the processor gets in the
way). In Apricot LS340 systems, this slot may be
occupied by an Apricot LS Security Card.
