BizTalk Adapters

I'm fairly new to BizTalk, at this point I'm just exploring its functionality and learning about how the different pieces (schemas, orchestrations, ports, etc) work together. I have a question about its adapters:

Are the different adapters already pre-installed with the BizTalk server installation and ready to configure or are some of them, like the JD Edwards one, on a separate installation and work more like a plug in?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around BizTalk so please correct me if I've got the view all wrong.

Adapters like File, FTP, WCF, MSMQ, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 are the ones which come out of the box with BizTalk Server Installation and you just start using them.

But some of the enterprise adapters like JDE, PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP, Tibco etc you need to install the BizTalk Enterprise Adapter pack and then configure them.
