2.3 PCI Adapter Configuration
The steps used to configure your adapter depend
on whether your computer system supports the
Plug and Play (PnP) 1.0a specification. You most
likely have a Plug and Play 1.0a compliant system
if it was purchased after June 1994 or if the BIOS
is dated after June 1994.
If your system is PnP compliant, either in BIOS or
if you are running Windows 95, go to Section 2.3.1.
If you have a non-Plug and Play system, proceed
to Section 2.3.2 for detailed information on how to
configure your adapter.
2.3.1 Configuration in Plug and Play systems
On systems with Plug and Play motherboards the
card will be configured automatically by the system's
BIOS during boot-up. The BIOS automatically
assigns the I/O base address and IRQ to the card
for proper operation. Continue to Section 2.4.
2.3.2 Configuration in Non-Plug and Play Sys-
tems
Early generation PCI bus PCs require that the PCI
adapter card be configured using the BIOS setup
program. Setup options include: A) enabling the
specific slot in which the adapter is installed, B) the
selection of Bus Master mode, and C) selection of
