Installing the Hardware and Software 23
Before you Start: Information, Tips, and Hints
Before you install the drivers for your FireGL card, make sure
your monitor cable is properly attached to the card.
Do you need a special driver installation?
The software installation procedure later in this chapter
describes how to install the drivers for your graphics card after
you have installed the new card for the first time and have
rebooted your computer.
This section offers some additional tips if you want or need to
install the graphics card drivers in a special working scenario,
for example, if you have re-installed your operating system, or
if you want to perform a manual installation.
• You can always install the drivers using the
ATISETUP
utility on the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM.
The
ATISETUP
utility will start automatically, if you insert
the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM into your CD-ROM
drive after the operating system has started. If your CD-ROM
auto-run is not enabled and/or the
ATISETUP
utility does
not start automatically:
Click the
Start
button in the task bar, click
Run
, and then
select
ATISETUP.EXE
from the root directory of the ATI
INSTALLATION CD-ROM. Click
OK
.
• Where are the drivers? When prompted for a driver
installation CD, insert the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM
and enter or browse to
\drivers.
• You need your operating system installed and running before
you can install the FireGL drivers.
