Configuring Plug and Play adapters Adapters designed for PCI slots are Plug and Play devices. Plug and Play adapters come with configuration specifications set in the operating system. These specifications provide installation information to the computer during startup. When you install or remove Plug and Play adapters, this information is interpreted by the basic input/output system (BIOS), which supports Plug and Play technology. If the required resources are available, the BIOS software automatically configures the adapter using resources not already used by other devices. The system board of your computer supports operating systems that use Plug and Play technology. Note: See Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting" on page 87 for information about error messages resulting from resource conflicts. Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program When you restart the computer for the first time after working with most options, a message might appear indicating that a configuration change has occurred.

If the preceding screen appears, select Continue until you reach the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu (see Chapter 4, "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 39). Chapter 5.
