Plug and Play is a technology that simplified attaching peripheral devices. In the past, you had to physically set the settings on the cards you installed. However, not everyone knew what the settings were set to, and they would install something else and there would be a conflict. The cards needed to use different IRQ, DMA, and base addresses. Plug and Play will negotiate with the devices and come up with the best settings that will allow everything to work.
