22 Installing the Hardware and Software
Before you Start: Information, Tips, and Hints
Before you install the drivers for your FireGL card, make sure
your monitor cable is properly attached to the card.
Do you need a special driver installation?
The software installation procedure later in this chapter
describes how to install the drivers for your graphics card after
you have installed the new card for the first time and have
rebooted your computer.
This section offers some additional tips if you want or need to
install the graphics card drivers in a special working scenario,
for example, if you have re-installed your operating system, or
if you want to perform a manual installation.
• You can always install the drivers using the ATISETUP
utility on the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM.
The ATISETUP utility will start automatically, if you insert
the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM into your CD-ROM
drive after the operating system has started. If your CD-ROM
auto-run is not enabled and/or the ATISETUP utility does
not start automatically:
Click the Start button in the task bar, click Run, and then
select ATISETUP.EXE from the root directory of the ATI
INSTALLATION CD-ROM. Click OK.
• Where are the drivers? When prompted for a driver
installation CD, insert the ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM
and enter or browse to \drivers.
• You need your operating system installed and running before
you can install the FireGL drivers.
