Finishing the installation
Locate identification numbers (serial and model/type) and record this
information in Appendix B, “Computer records” on page 139.
See “Related information” on page xv in the front of this book for sources
of other information about your computer. For information about
IBM-installed software, see About Your Software in your applications
package. Additional programs and device drivers are on the Product
Recovery CD, and in some cases on other CDs and diskettes.
Installing your own operating system
If your computer came with preinstalled software but you decide to install
your own operating system, make sure you install the device drivers after
installing the operating system. Device drivers are provided on the Product
Recovery CD and are also available at http:/www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on
the World Wide Web. Installation instructions are provided with the media
or in README files on the diskettes or CDs.
Computers without preinstalled software
If your computer came without a preinstalled operating system, device
drivers are available on the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD
that comes with your computer. This CD includes a README file that
contains information on using the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced
Diagnostics CD to recover or install device drivers. To view or print the
README file, you must access it through your operating system.
To view the README file, do the following:
1. Remove the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD from the
CD-ROM drive.
2. Restart your computer and operating system.
3. Insert the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD into your
CD-ROM drive.
4. Display the directory structure of the CD by using a file-management
program, such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or DOS's dir command.
5. Double-click README.TXT or use a text editor to view the file.
