2.3.4 Installing a card in Windows 2000
For versions of the AMPDIO software prior to 4.32, please follow the instructions for installing a
card in Windows NT 4.0 (see section 2.3.5). For versions 4.30 and 4.31, the supplied
AMPDIOV4.INF file will allow the supported PCI cards to appear under Device Manager, but these
are just dummy entries. For versions prior to 4.30 the supported PCI cards will appear as unknown
devices under Device Manager.
For AMPDIO software versions 4.32 and later a ‘Plug and Play’ Windows 2000 driver is used. This
section describes how to install a card to use this Plug and Play driver under Windows 2000.
2.3.4.1 PCI Card
For a PCI card, Windows will detect the new hardware automatically and attempt to install the
drivers. The driver files can be installed from the AMPDIO software installation directory or from
the SOFTMAN CD-ROM.
To install the PCI card automatically on system start-up, do the following:
1. If installing from CD-ROM rather than from the AMPDIO software installation directory, ensure
the Amplicon SOFTMAN CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive.
2. If Windows opens the ‘Welcome to the Found
New Hardware Wizard’ page, press ‘Next’ and
go to step 3. If Windows just asks for a disk
labelled ‘Amplicon DIO Drivers Disk’ go to step
7.
3. Select the ‘Search for a suitable driver for my
device (recommended)’ option and press ‘Next.
4. If installing from the CD-ROM, check the ‘CD-
ROM drives’ option. If installing from AMPDIO
software installation directory, check the ‘Specify
a location’ option. Press ‘Next’.
5. If installing from the AMPDIO software installation directory, browse to the directory, press
‘Open’, then ‘OK’.
6. On the ‘Driver Files Search Results’ page, Windows should say ‘Windows found a driver for
this device’. Press ‘Next’.
7. If Windows asks for a disk labelled ‘Amplicon DIO Drivers Disk’ when trying to copy files, click
“OK” to cancel the alert box, then browse to the root directory on the CD-ROM (or the AMPDIO
software installation directory on the hard disk) and press ‘Open’, then ‘OK’. Windows will copy
the files and install the driver.
8. On the ‘Completing the Found New Hardware’ screen, press ‘Finish’
