Planning your hardware changes
You should understand how your new hardware will work with your existing
hardware before you unplug your system unit, pull the cover off, and start removing
or adding hardware. You should also record your changes as you work.
Make sure that you have read the preceding section
“
Evaluating your new
hardware
”
on page 2 before you proceed.
Recording your changes
When you add or replace hardware, you should record the changes you make. The
information you need to record as you work includes, but is not limited to:
•
Changes to jumper positions
•
Connection of drive and adapter card cables to the system board
•
Changes to CMOS settings in Setup
•
Changes to settings in other online configuration utilities, such as the Windows
98 Device Manager or a configuration utility that might come with your new
hardware.
