Before You Begin

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read
the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the AIMB-231 are located on
website. The driver in the folder will guide and link you to the utilities and drivers
under a Windows system. Updates are provided via Service Packs from Microsoft*.
Note! The files on website are compressed. Do not attempt to install the driv-
ers by copying the files manually. You must use the supplied SETUP
program to install the drivers.
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to have the
relevant software application already installed in the system prior to installing the
enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the installation procedures assume
that you are familiar with both the relevant software applications and operating sys-
tem commands. Review the relevant operating system commands and the pertinent
sections of your application software's user manual before performing the installa-
tion.
