2 How to Install and Replace Components In Your Desktop PC

Installing Accessory Boards

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. Your PC has configurable support for Plug and Play in the BIOS.

All PCI accessory boards are Plug and Play , although not all ISA boards are. Check the accessory board’s documentation if you are unsure.

When you start your PC after installing an accessory board, the Plug and Play BIOS automatically detects which hardware resources (IRQs, DMAs, memory ranges, and I/O addresses) are used by PC components (such as the keyboard, the communications ports, network adapters, and accessory boards).

Windows 95 and Windows 98

Operating sy stems that support Plug and Play, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, will automatically detect a newly installed Plug and Play accessory board and install the driver for this device, if the driver is available.

Windows NT 4.0

For operating systems that do not support Plug and Play, such as Windows NT 4.0, refer to the operating system documentation for information about installing accessory boards.

In Windows NT 4.0, click the

Start button then click Help. You can

use the contents or index to find information about installing devices. Windows NT 4.0 helps you through the installation of devices such as modems and sound boards.

NOTE After installing a new device in Windows NT 4.0, you must re-install the

Microsoft Service Pack to update the operating system for your PC. To do this, click the

NT Update.

Start button then select Programs – Windows

2 How to Install and Replace Components In Your Desktop PC

Installing Accessory Boards

Configuring non-Plug and Play ISA Accessory Boards

If you install an ISA accessory board that is not Plug and Play, you will need to configure the board before your PC can use it. For instructions about configuring the board, refer to the documentation that came with the board.

For guidelines on available IRQs and I/O addresses in your PC, refer to page 119. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95, can display the IRQs and I/O addresses currently used by your PC. Refer to the operating system documentation for more information.

Refer to the documentation supplied with the operating system for details on your operating system’s capabilities and restrictions concerning non-Plug and Play accessory boards.

Resetting the PC’s Configuration Data

If your PC is having difficulty recognizing the ISA board, try resetting the PC’s data configuration. This will clear any old configuration data that is no longer used. T o do this, enter the PC’ s Setup program, set the
