Installing the Fire GL2 19
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.
