Chapter 3 Chipset Software Installation
Utility
3.1 Before you begin
To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and
utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter carefully
before you attempt installation. The device drivers for the board are
located on the software installation CD. The auto-run function of the
driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and device drivers under
a Windows system. Updates are provided via Service Packs from
Microsoft*.
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to
have the relevant software application already installed in the system
prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the
installation procedures assume that you are familiar with both the rele-
vant software applications and operating system commands. Review the
relevant operating system commands and the pertinent sections of your
application software’s user’s manual before performing the installation.
