Installing the PCI Prompt Card on NT4 (or earlier)

When installing the PCICard on a computer running a version of NT that does not support plug and play, such as NT4, make sure that plug and play support is disabled in the computer's BIOS settings. This situation can easily happen if the computer is updated to NT4 from a plug and play version of Windows such as Windows98.

The BIOS setup to a computer is commonly accessed by pressing the DEL key at boot time. It is strongly suggested that BIOS settings are only changed by a qualified technician as it is easy to make the computer inoperable with an incorrect setting!
