Thus, some of the system com-ponents won’t be auto-configured with an appropriate driver or utility duringoperating system installation. Instead, you need to manually install some system-re-quired drivers and utilities.What to InstallThe Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contains the drivers and util-ities necessary for the proper operation of the computer.
