Configuring Accessory Boards with Plug and Play

Plug and Play is an industry standard for automatically configuring
your PC's hardware resources and the accessory boards installed in it.
Accessory boards which support the Plug and Play standard can be
detected and configured automatically by your PC.
Your PC has configurable support for Plug and Play in the system BIOS.
When you start your PC, the Plug and Play system BIOS can detect
automatically which hardware resources (IRQs, DMAs, memory ranges,
and I/O addresses) are used by the system-based components.
