7.2 Installing and Removing Hardware in Windows
Plug and Play (PnP) is a standard that makes installing new hardware devices easier. Prior to PnP, installing new hardware meant finding and installing peripheral drivers and making sure the new device didn't conflict with another device. Theoretically, if you have a computer designed for PnP and are using a PnP operating system (like Windows), installing a printer, sound card, modem, or other peripheral is a simple matter of plugging in the device.
It's not always quite this simple. Assuming you are using a PnP computer, when you attach a PnP device, you may see a message indicating that Windows has recognized the new device- either immediately or the next time you start up your system. If Windows needs a driver that is not currently installed, you may at that point be asked to insert a disk or the Windows CD- ROM. If you don't see a message but the device appears to be working, you can assume that everything is fine.
