Chapter 4 PCI SVGA Setup
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-6185 board are located on the software installation CD. You must
install the drivers and utility software by using the supplied SETUP pro-
gram 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 sup-
plied 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 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.
