PCA-6179 User's Manual

4.1 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 enhanced display

drivers for the PCA-6179 board are located on the software installa-

tion CD. You must install the drivers and utility software by using the

supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers.

Note: The files on the software installation CD are com-

pressed. Do not attempt to install the drivers by

copying the files manually. You must use the supplied

SETUP program to install the drivers.

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 relevant software applications and operating system com-

mands. Review the relevant operating system commands and the

pertinent sections of your application software’s user’s manual before

performing the installation.
