How do I add a new option card to my system or change the existing configuration?
To add a new option card to the system, follow the manufacturer’s directions for initial device configuration and instructions on inserting the card. You should refer to your computer owner’s manual for information on how to open the system case.Most option cards are configured by the operating system and many operating systems will recognize the addition of a new option card and ask for information about its operation (typically supplied on a separate disk or CD). The BIOS does not need to know about these cards.However, the BIOS will need to be configured for devices required to boot the machine, such as a disk attached to a new SCSI option card. When the system is first started, use the appropriate interrupt key to go into BIOS Setup (shown on the screen shortly after start-up), and select the option that allows you to choose the boot order.
