Your Dell system comes with software support utilities on diskette or on your com-
puter’s hard-disk drive. These software support utilities include system utilities,
system services, and Microsoft updated ATAPI drivers, all of which are documented in
this chapter.
For information on the additional software support utilities you received with your sys-
tem, refer to the following chapters or documents:
‡
Video drivers — See the documentation from the graphic adapter manufacturer.
(Video drivers support the video graphics requirements of a variety of monitors
and application programs running under the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating
system.)
NOTE: Some graphic adapters support the Windows NT 4.0 operating system
only. Refer to the documentation that came with your graphic adapter for more
information.
‡
Audio drivers — See Chapter 6, “Using the Integrated Audio Controller.”
‡
Network interface drivers — See Chapter 5, “Using the Network Interface
Controller.”
‡
SCSI interface drivers — See Chapter 7, “Using the Integrated SCSI Controllers.”
System utilities and services can be used to safeguard your system and to explicitly
control certain hardware features. Refer to “System Utilities and Services” found later
in this chapter for information about these utilities.
Microsoft updated ATAPI drivers are provided with your Dell system for the Windows
NT 4.0 operating system. Refer to “Microsoft Updated ATAPI Drivers” found later in this
chapter for information about these drivers.

immediately, and as diskette images.
