Plug and Play: This screen provides information about the Plug and Play
features. The screen includes the Auto Configure Cards option, and a list of
all Plug and Play adapter cards installed in the computer.
Auto Configure Cards is an option that allows you the choice of:
Ÿ
All Plug and Play adapter cards configured by system BIOS
Ÿ
Only Plug and Play adapter cards required to boot the system
configured by system BIOS
If you have a Plug and Play operating system, the computer might function
better if only the Plug and Play adapter cards required to boot the system
are configured by system BIOS. If you choose to have only the adapter
cards required to boot the system configured by system BIOS, use the
operating system’s Plug and Play utilities to configure the other Plug and
Play cards.
Plug and Play Adapter Cards is the option that lists all the Plug and Play
cards you have installed in the system unit.
Note: Only the newest operating systems support Plug and Play adapter
cards. See the documentation supplied with the operating system to
determine if it supports Plug and Play adapter cards.
Startup Options: This screen provides information about the computer
power-on (startup) sequence. When you power the computer on, it looks for
the operating system files. Use the Startup Sequence option to tell the
computer where to look for these files. The computer can search for these
files on a diskette, an adapter card, a network, or a hard disk.
The system’s startup sequence automatically looks for the operating system
files on the hard disk if the files are not found on diskette.
