PnP System BIOS

The PnP system BIOS is the lowest level of your PnP system. Its main

functions are to provide information on the resource settings of your

system devices and to configure PnP cards.

Some PnP system BIOS configure PnP cards automatically. Other

BIOS give you an option in their setup utilities to disable their PnP

configuration capability. Please refer to your system manual for more

details.

PnP Operating System

A PnP operating system provides a fully PnP user environment. It can

support PnP cards on its own, with or without a PnP system BIOS. Its

main functions are to determine which resources have been reserved

by the legacy and PnP cards in your system, and then dynamically

allocate free resources to newly added PnP cards.

Windows 95 is an example of a PnP operating system. When you

install or upgrade to Windows 95 for the first time, it will

automatically determine the resource settings of the existing cards in

your system and allocate other resources to new PnP cards.

When you add a legacy card later, however, you will need to run the

“Add New Hardware” wizard in Control Panel so that Windows 95

can detect this card. To avoid any conflicts that may be introduced by

the hardware settings of this new legacy card, Windows 95 may also

re-assign different resources to existing PnP cards.
