1 How to Install Accessories in Your Desktop PC
Installing Accessory Boards
NOTE
If you install a network board and connect it to the WOL
connector, you must enable the
Wake On LAN
field in the
Setup
program (
Advanced - Power Management Setup
) if the
network board supports this mode.
After you have installed certain types of accessory, for example,
a network board, you must reinstall Service Pack 3 (Windows
NT 4.0 only). You must also reinstall the drivers for the video
card. You can download the correct drivers from HP's Web site
at:

.
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 the system-
based components.
