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 PCA-6010 are located on
the software installation CD. The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility is not
required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates are provided via Service
Packs from Microsoft*.
Note! The files on the software installation CD are compressed. Do not

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.
