Installing Plug and Play devices

Physically adding an ISA PnP card

You can physically add a card either before you install the system or at any time after the installation.

The card should be enabled for Plug and Play mode. Check the card's documentation to determine whether or not you need to set jumpers on the card to enable this capability.

If you installed the card before you installed the system, start the ISA PnP Configuration Manager and skip to ``Selecting a card and device to configure''.

To add a card to an already installed system:

  1. Log in to the system as root.

  2. Halt the system with the System Shutdown Manager or the shutdown(ADM) command.

  3. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord to your system.

  4. Physically add the card to an empty ISA slot on your motherboard. Be sure that the card is enabled for Plug and Play mode.

  5. Turn the power on and restart the system.
