Installation Considerations
Newer adapters, designed for Plug-and-Play systems,
are automatically configured by the system without any
user intervention. Older ISA adapters must be manually
configured as detailed below. Once the manual
configuration is complete, the Plug-and-Play adapters
are configured around the manually configured
adapters without causing any resource conflicts.
ISA adapters can be Plug-and-Play. ISA adapters that
are not Plug-and-Play must be manually configured
following the instructions supplied with the board. The
configuration is defined to the system by creating the
ISA configuration file when running the RCU. For
details on running the RCU, refer to Chapter 4.
