Installing The Board - HP Vectra VE 5/series 2 User Manual

Windows 95 can detect and configure automatically Plug and Play accessories if Plug and
Play Device Management is set to Full in the Setup program.
Non-Plug and Play ISA Accessory Boards
You must run the Add New Hardware wizard to configure non-Plug and Play accessories. The
Add New Hardware wizard can identify automatically many accessory boards.
If the Add New Hardware wizard does not recognize the accessory board, you can manually
select the accessory board from a list of supported products. Windows 95 is preloaded with
configuration details for many non-Plug and Play accessory boards.
Windows 95 will determine the recommended settings for each ISA non-Plug and Play board
you want to install. These settings may be different from those recommended by the accessory
board's manufacturer. In this case, the board's jumper settings and driver options must be
altered.
To run the Add New Hardware wizard:
1 Click the Start button on the Windows 95 task bar.
2 Point to Settings.
3 Double-click Add New Hardware.
4 Follow the instructions provided by the Add New Hardware wizard to configure the
accessory board.

INSTALLING THE BOARD

1 Before installing the board, refer to "Installing Accessory Boards" earlier in this chapter for
important Plug and Play configuration information.
NOTE
2 Disconnect the computer's power cord and any telecommunications cable.
3 Remove the computer's cover and power supply (see "Removing and Replacing the
Cover" and "Replacing the Power Supply after Installing Accessories" earlier in this
chapter).
4 Find a free slot. ISA boards should be installed in the lowest available slot and PCI boards
in the highest available slot to ease cable routing.
Some boards may have preferred locations and special installation instructions detailed in
their manuals.
5 Unscrew and remove the slot cover. Store it in a safe place.
If the slot cover is tight, loosen the screws on the adjacent slots.
PCI boards are configured automatically when
installed in the PC.
