Appendix B Intel Chipset Software

Installation Utility for Intel Chipsets

B.1 Description

The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (formerly referred to as Intel INF Installation

Utility) for Intel chipsets was developed for updating certain versions of Windows. This utility

allows the operating system to correctly identify the Intel chipset components and properly

configure the system. The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility installs specific Windows

INF files. The INF files inform the operating system about how to properly configure the chipset

for specific functionality, such as AGP, USB, Core PCI, and ISA PnP services.

For more details about the specific INF files that are updated, please refer to the README.TXT

file that is included with the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Intel chipsets.

Note: It is important that your Intel chipset is properly configured prior to installing the Intel

Application Accelerator. If the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility is needed, it should

always be installed prior to installing the Intel Application Accelerator.

F6 Installation Note: If you plan on installing the Intel Application Accelerator using the F6

installation method (Section 12.2), you will not be able to install the Intel Chipset Software

Installation Utility first.
