Installation
When installing the board in a Windows 2000 system the Spectrum board will be rec- ognized automatically on the next
The system offers the direct in- stallation of a driver for the board.
Let Windows search automa- tically for the best driver for your system.
Select the CD that was deliv- ered with the board as instal- lation source. The driver files are located on CD in the di- rectory \Driver\Win98_2k_XP.
The hardware assistant shows you the exact board type that has been found like the MI.3020 in the example. Older boards (before june 2004) show „Spectrum Board“ instead.
The drivers can be used di- rectly after installation. It is not necessary to restart the system. The installed drivers are linked in the device man- ager.
Below you’ll see how to ex- amine the driver version and how to update the driver with a newer version.
Version control
If you want to check which driver version is installed in the system this can be eas- ily done in the device manager. There- fore please start the device manager from the control panel and show the properties of the installed driver.
On the property page Windows 2000 shows the date and the version of the in- stalled driver.
After clicking the driver details button the detailed version information of the driver is shown. In the case of a support questi- on this information must be presented to- gether with the board’s serial number to the support team to help finding a fast so- lution.
