Adding And Removing Drives; Installing A Second Hard Drive - HP Pavilion xt800 - Desktop PC Manual

4 Turn on the computer and all peripherals.
5 Install any software drivers supplied by the
card manufacturer.
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. (See "Using the BIOS
Setup Program" in the User's Guide for more
information.)

Installing a Second Hard Drive

drive.
