Hardware Installation You may need to reconfigure the computer when you add or remove hardware, such as an additional diskette drive. If you install a Plug and Play device, Windows 95 and 98 automatically recognizes the device and configures the computer. If you install a non-Plug and Play device, you must reconfigure the computer after completing installation of the new hardware. In Windows 95 and 98, select the Add New Hardware icon in the Control Panel and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. To reconfigure the computer in Windows NT Workstation 4.0 after installing new hardware, use the utility provided with the hardware. Problem A new device is not automatically recognized as part of the computer system. Possible Solution 1. The computer needs to be reconfigured to recognize the new device. Follow the reconfiguration instructions above. If system still does not recognize the new device, but the device is listed within Computer Setup, use Computer Setup to address any resource conflicts. 2. When the system advised you of changes to the configuration, you did not accept them. Reboot the computer and follow the instructions for accepting the changes. 3. A Plug and Play board may not automatically configure when added if the default configuration conflicts with other devices. Use Windows 95, 98, or 2000 Device Manager to deselect the automatic settings for the board and choose a basic configuration that doesn't cause a resource conflict. You can also use Computer Setup to reconfigure or disable devices to resolve the resource conflict. 4. The cables for the new external device are loose or the power cables are unplugged. Check all cables, and check that pins in the cable or connector are not bent down. 5. The power switch for the new external device is not turned on. Turn off the computer, turn on the external device, and then turn the computer on to integrate the new device with the computer. 6.
