Chapter 4 Chipset Software Installation Utility

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 device drivers for the PCA-6186 board are located on the software installation CD. The auto-run function of the driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and device drivers under a Windows system. The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Util- ity is not required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates are provided via Service Packs from Microsoft*.

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.

The Intel® Chipset Software Installation (CSI) utility installs to the target system the Windows INF files that outline to the operating system how the chipset components will be configured. This is needed for the proper functioning of the following features:

•Core PCI and ISA PnP services.

•AGP support.

•IDE Ultra ATA 100/66/33 interface support.

•USB 1.1 support (USB 2.0 driver needs to be installed separately)
