Adapter Configuration Along with the documentation that comes with your adapter, use the following information to help with adapter configuration. Plug and Play Adapters Your computer uses the Plug and Play method to configure adapters. Support for Plug and Play is built into the system board of your computer. If an adapter is Plug and Play, there are no switches or jumpers that must be set on the adapter. A Plug and Play adapter comes with configuration specifications set in memory to 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 around the resources already in use by other devices. Notes: 1. If a resource conflict arises after installing a Plug and Play adapter, you might need to change the default resource settings on the adapter. For more information, refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter. 2. For information on error messages from resource conflicts, see Using Your Personal Computer. Chapter 4.
