Device Driver Installation
To install the drivers for the cPCI-8610/8620, refer to the installation
information in this chapter. Basic information is presented in this section,
however, for more detailed installation information for non-Windows
Operating Systems, refer to the extensive explanation inside the ADLINK CD.
The drivers are located in the following directories of the CD-ROM:
VGA/AGP relative driver \CHIPDRV\VGA\69000
LAN relative driver \CHIPDRV\LAN\82546EB
As the Bus-mastering IDE drivers are automatically installed by most
Windows based operating systems, it will not be described.
Since Windows NT is a non plug-and-play OS, a reminder of some useful tips
for installing Windows NT drivers are suggested:
1. Install the LAN driver before installing any service pack.
2. Install the VGA/AGP driver after installing the service pack. Make sure
your service pack does support AGP. Service pack 6 or higher is
recommend.
3. If Windows NT boots with a warning message, check the Event Viewer
to view the source generating the warning message. If strange
phenomena’s occur and it can’t be solved, re-install the Windows NT
service pack, then install the drivers in a different sequence
