Adding a Peripheral Device to a System

    To add a new peripheral device that is not hot-pluggable, you perform the following general steps:

  • Shut down the system

  • Connect the device to the system

  • Reboot the system

In some cases, you might also have to add a third-party device driver to support the new device.

For information about hot-plugging devices, see Dynamically Configuring Devices.

This section describes how to add peripheral devices and device drivers.
