32 English
Installing Accessory Boards
The PC has four accessory board slots:
•
Slot 1 (the bottom slot) can be used for half-length 16-bit ISA boards
•
Slot 2 can be used for full-length 16-bit ISA boards
•
Slot 3 can be used for either a full-length 32-bit PCI or
a full-length 16-bit ISA board
•
Slot 4 (the top slot) can be used for a half-length 32-bit PCI board.
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.
When you start your PC, 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.
Configuring Plug and
Play with the SETUP
program
You can use the SETUP program to select the level of support provided
by the BIOS for Plug and Play-compatible accessory boards:
1 Turn on the PC and press when
<Setup=F2>
appears.
2
Highlight the
Plug and Play Device Management
line and use
or to select
None
,
Boot Only
, or
Full
.
•
If
None
is selected, you must use the ISA Configuration Utility
(ICU) to configure all accessory boards.
•
If
Boot Only
is selected, Plug and Play accessory boards which
have the ability to boot (start) your PC will be configured by the
BIOS. You must use the ICU to configure all other accessory
boards.
•
If
Full
is selected, all Plug and Play accessories will be
configured by the BIOS. However, if you install a non-Plug and
Play accessory board, you must use the ICU to determine a
conflict-free setting for the board.
3 Press to save your selection and exit from the SETUP program.
