Before installing an expansion card, "resources" must be set.
The floppy disk drive or hard disk drive built in the PC uses a path predetermined for each device to
exchange data with the CPU or memory. These paths have subclasses including I/O addresses,
DMA channels, interrupt requests (IRQs), which are collectively called "resources".
Expansion cards are classified into those for PCI and ISA buses.
A PCI bus expansion card supports the Plug & Play function.
An ISA bus expansion card is not available for the PC.
Point
- Depending on the type of the expansion card you use, the resources may need to be changed.
