For more information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program to configure adapters, see "Legacy Adapters" on page 68. Adapter Types Many adapters now use Plug and Play technology that enables the computer to automatically configure the adapter, provided that the required resources are available. Refer to the instructions that come with your adapter to determine if it is Plug and Play. For more information, see "Adapter Configuration" on page 67.
