 The idea behind "plug and play" (commonly abbreviated PnP) is that the peripheral can simply be plugged in and turned on, and that the computer should dynamically recognize the device and establish the interface. This process involves the operating system identifying the new device, determining what kind of device it is, finding and loading the appropriate drivers, and integrating the device into the computer system, allowing it to be used without requiring the user to manually install software or reboot the computer.
