Other PCI and ISA Accessory Devices under Plug and Play

All PCI accessory boards are Plug and Play, although not all ISA boards are.
Check the accessory board's documentation if you are unsure.
The computer is PCI 2.1 compliant, and PnP 1.1 compliant. This meets the
"Windows 95 Required" level for Plug and Play. Accessory boards which are
Plug and Play are automatically configured by the operating system
(Windows 95) or by the BIOS (other operating systems).
In general, in a Plug and Play configuration, resources for an ISA board have
to be reserved first (using a utility under Windows 95 or ICU for DOS/
Windows) and then you can plug in your board. When you run a non Plug-
and-Play operating system, such as OS/2 or Windows NT, if you want to
install an ISA board, you have to reserve the resources for the board using
the ICU (for Windows). Failure to do so may lead to resource conflicts.
The procedure for installing an ISA accessory board that is not Plug and
Play is described in the User's Guide that is supplied with the computer.
