2.6 Installing the Drivers

After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ether- net, SVGA, audio, PCMCIA and touchscreen functions. All the drivers except the CD-ROM drive driver are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities." The CD-ROM drive driver is stored in a floppy disk. Both the CD-ROM and the floppy disk can be found in your acces- sory box.

To set up the CD-ROM function, insert the floppy disk with the CD-ROM drive driver into the floppy disk drive and type "install" after the follow- ing prompt is displayed on screen:

A: > INSTALL

Press "Enter", and the installation process will be completed in a few sec- onds.

The standard procedures for installing the VGA, Chipset Software Audio, ICH4USB2.0, Ethernet , touchscreen and Card reader drivers are described in Chapter 6.

The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this man- ual.

Note: The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-154 panel PCs are subject to change without notice. If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our application engineers for the latest informa- tion regarding drivers and utlities.
