Chapter 4 Chipset Software Install Utility
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 device drivers for the PCE-7210
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. .
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.
4.2 Introduction
The Intel® Chipset Software Installation (CSI) installs Windows* INF
files to the target system. These files outline to the operating system how
to configure the Intel® chipset components in order to ensure that the fol-
lowing features function properly:
• Core PCI and ISA PnP services.
• PCIe support.
• IDE Ultra ATA 100/66/33 and Serial ATA interface support.
Note:
The files on the software installation CD are com-
pressed. Do not attempt to install the drivers by copy-
ing the files manually. You must use the supplied
SETUP program to install the drivers.
Note: The Auto-Run function only can run under the 32-bit
Microsoft Windows OS. If it can't run under your sys-
tem, please set up the driver manually.
