Configuring PCI adapters
Along with the documentation that comes with your adapter, use the following
information to help with adapter configuration.
PCI adapters generally require no user configuration. The computer and operating
system work together to automatically manage the resources that are required by
each device that is installed in the computer and to assign resources to new
devices in a manner that avoids system conflicts.
Configuring startup devices
When your computer is turned on, it searches for an operating system. The order
in which it searches devices for the operating system is the startup sequence. After
adding new devices to the computer, you might want to change the startup
sequence. You can use the BIOS Setup Utility program to configure startup devices.
