may need to use the BIOS Setup program to manually configure the
device.
To determine which configuration settings to use for the new device, refer
to the documentation that came with the device.
Write down the device type and settings of your existing devices for future
reference, or in case you inadvertently change this information while
manually configuring the new device.
