Driver Installation

To install the drivers and utility for the cPCI-6760DK/P5, please refer the installation information in this Chapter. We provide basic information in this manual, however, for more detail installation information, such as non-Windows OS installation, please refer to the extensive explanation inside the ADLINK CD. We put the chip drivers in the following directories:

Chipset driver	\CHIPDRV\Chipset\440BX
VGA/AGP relative driver	\CHIPDRV\VGA\SM721
LAN relative driver	\CHIPDRV\LAN\100PDISK
Watchdog relative library	\CHIPDRV\WDT
Hardware Doctor Utility	\Utility\HWDoctor\W8378X

In this users manual, the Bus-mastering IDE driver installation is not described because most of the Windows based OS will install those drivers automatically.

Since Windows NT is a non plug-and-play OS, some useful tips for installing Windows NT drivers are suggested:

1.Install the LAN driver before installing any service pack.

2.Install the VGA/AGP driver after installing the service pack. Please make sure your service pack does support AGP, service pack 6 or higher is recommend.

3.If Windows NT boots with a warning message, check the Event Viewer to view the source generating the warning message. If strange phenomena’s occur and it can’t be solved, re-install the Windows NT service pack, then install the drivers in a different sequence.
