The Agilent IO Libraries Suite includes I/O drivers for various PCI plug- in cards. Extensive testing of these drivers and cards has revealed that early revisions of the BIOS code in several PCs are not completely PCI- compliant. This has caused problems when running the Agilent IO Libraries, whether or not the PCI card is installed. Problems can include system errors, operating system crashes, or card initialization failures.

For Windows NT operating systems, most PC manufacturers recommend that before installing any PCI card, you first create an EMERGENCY REPAIR DISK. If your PC exhibits any abnormal behavior following installation of the Agilent IO Libraries, we recommend a BIOS upgrade to

the PC. BIOS upgrades are available from most PC manufacturers’ websites.
