IBM 48X-20X manual Updating your computer configuration, Installing device drivers

Step 8. Updating your computer configuration

After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed. If this screen is not displayed, check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.

To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press the F1 button during startup. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit.

Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the CD-ROM drive information when you review the configuration-setup information. You still can use the CD-ROM drive in this situation if you have correctly completed the installation.

Step 9. Installing device drivers

This section contains the instructions for installing device drivers for the CD-ROM drive, based on the operating system you are using.

Note: User requirements vary; the device driver settings for that operating system can be customized. If your computer does not work well with the default settings given in the installation instructions in this section, refer to ªAppendix A. Customizing device driver configuration settingsº on page A-1for information on customizing your device driver configuration settings.

Device driver for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me

Windows 98 and Windows Me automatically detect the CD-ROM drive and do not present any installation screens. If the driver installation screens are displayed after your operating system starts, follow the instructions on the screen to install the device drivers. Consult the documentation that comes with your operating system for more information.
