Step 4: Installing Integrated Hardware Utilities 

The Utilities & Manuals CD that was included with your order includes the Integrated Hardware Utilities program.  Simply insert the 
CD into the host computer and the setup program should run.  If not navigate to the CD and run SETUP.EXE.  A window should open 
(as shown below) with several choices of languages and programs to install.  Under “Utility Programs” select “Integrated Utilities” to 
install the Integrated Hardware Utilities program. 

 
 
 
Simply click “Ok”, “Yes” or “Next” to install using the default settings.  You can always install it again later if you want to change 
anything.
