5.1 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 enhanced
display drivers for the PCM-5864/E/L board are located on the
software installation disk. You must install the drivers and utility
software by using the supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers.
Note: The files on the software installation disk are
compressed. Do not attempt to install the drivers
by copying the files manually. You must use the

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 relevant software applications and operating
system commands. Review the relevant operating system
commands and the pertinent sections of your application
software's manual before performing the installation.
