Installing the Card and Related Hardware

If you want to install this Plug and Play (PnP) card in a non-PnP environment such as DOS/Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 MS-DOS Mode, you must first install a PnP configuration manager. For more details, refer to the documentation that comes with your PnP configuration manager.
