what is plug and play?

“Plug and Play” describes the ability to add and remove add-in cards, memory, and peripherals without any special procedures (such as resetting jumpers and testing for system conflicts). The system BIOS (basic input/output system) finds these components and adds them to the system. You do not have to run the BIOS setup program.

if the new card or device isn’t working

Read through the card manufacturer’s installation instructions, and recheck all connections, including those to the card, power supply, keyboard, and monitor. If the problem still exists, run the BIOS setup program and load the default settings, and then save and exit.
