1 How to Install Accessories in Your Desktop PC
Installing Accessory Boards
Windows 95
Operating systems that support Plug and Play, such as Windows 95, will
automatically detect a newly installed Plug and Play accessory board
and install the driver for this device, if the driver is available. If the
driver is not available, Windows 95 will prompt you to insert a floppy
disk or CD-ROM that contains the driver.
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.
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 guidelines
on available IRQs and I/O addresses in your PC, refer to page 90. 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 page 19 for information about accessory board slot numbers.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the operating system for
details on your operating system’s capabilities and restrictions
concerning how to configure non-Plug and Play accessory boards.
