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 AIMB-501 are located on the
software installation CD. The driver in the folder of the driver CD 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 the software installation CD are compressed. Do not
attempt to install the drivers 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.
