description may vary slightly.
• If installing a second non plug-and-play interface, skip step 1.
• If installing a second plug-and-play interface, go to “Hardware Installation.”
Step 1

setup program when the CD is inserted into the CD ROM driver. If auto-run is disabled, use Explorer to
launch the Setup.exe found in the root directory of the CD. Follow the screen prompts to install the
software. If non plug-and-play hardware is being installed, proceed to step 2; otherwise proceed to
“Hardware Installation” on page 3-4.
Step 2
Use the “Add New Hardware” program found in the Control Panel to notify Windows 95 that you are
installing new hardware. Refer to the following steps that demonstrate the typical Windows panels
encountered during the “Add New Hardware” program execution:
