Chapter 3: Configuring the System

Installing Video Drivers

After configuring the system, you need to install video drivers to take full
advantage of the features of the onboard Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446 super VGA
video controller.

The Configuration Software CD includes video drivers for use
with DOS and Windows

 

NT.  Check the README.TXT file on

the CD for information on installing these drivers.

For other operating systems, see your OS instructions for
installing device drivers.

Configuring the Network Controller

This system includes the onboard Intel 82557 PCI LAN Controller.  The IRQ
level and I/O address of the onboard controller are automatically set each
time you start the system.  PCI systems automatically detect and configure
PCI-compliant adapters while booting.

For information about network software and configuration, refer to the
Configuration Software CD shipped with this system.
