Chapter 4 Chipset Software Install 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 AIMB-744
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.
4.2 Introduction
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 and Serial ATA interface support.
• USB 1.1/2.0 support (USB 2.0 driver needs to be installed separately
for Win98)
Note: The files on the software installation CD are
compressed. Do not attempt to install the driv-
ers by copying the files manually. You must use
the supplied SETUP program to install the driv-
ers.
