3 How to Install Accessories In Your PC

Installing Accessory Boards

32

English

The ICU is preloaded with configuration details for many non-Plug and
Play accessory boards. If your accessory board is not listed by the ICU,
there are two ways you can configure the accessory board:

1 Some non-Plug and Play accessory boards are supplied with a

configuration file which can be used by the ICU to determine which
resources are required by the board. When prompted by the ICU,
insert the diskette containing the configuration file.

2 If there is no configuration file for your accessory board, you will

need to enter the configuration details manually when prompted by
the ICU. Refer to the documentation supplied with the accessory
board for information about the resources the board requires.

Windows 95 and
Plug and Play

It is not necessary to use the ICU with Windows 95 as it has built-in Plug
and Play functionality. It works directly with the PC’s Plug and Play
BIOS to dynamically configure system resources for Plug and Play
accessories.

For boards which are not automatically recognized and configured, you
may need to run the

Add New Hardware

wizard to configure the

accessory. The settings selected by Windows 95 may be different from
those recommended by the board’s manufacturer. Should this be the
case, it might be necessary to alter the board’s jumpers.
Refer to the documentation supplied with Windows 95 for further
details.
