Before you Start: Information, Tips, and Hints

Before you install the drivers for your Fire GL2 accelerator, make sure

your monitor cable is properly attached to the VGA or DVI-D

connector.

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 Quick Start utility on

the Fire GL CD.

The Quick Start utility will start automatically, if you insert the Fire

GL CD into your CD-ROM drive after the operating system has

started. If your CD-ROM auto-run is not enabled and/or the Quick

Start program does not start automatically:

Click the Start button in the task bar, click Run, and then select

START.EXE from the root directory of the Fire GL CD.

Select Readme from the Fire GL CD start menu to display a

readme file. Refer to this file for additional and 'last minute'

information. Information in this file may not appear in printed

documentation or online help.

Where are the drivers? When prompted for a driver installation CD,

insert the Fire GL CD and enter or browse to the path

corresponding to your operating system.
