2       Installation instructions

2.1     Preparation

        Note: If there were already other GLint based boards
              installed, their referring "oemx.inf" and
              "oemx.pnf" files (where "x" read as numbers) in
              the INF subdirectory of your system have to be
              deleted. This is to ensure that the Plug&Play
              recognition of Windows 2000 is working properly.

        Copy all listed driver files to a formatted disk (or a
        temporary directory). Uninstall all display adapter devices
        under CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/HARDWARE/DEVICE MANAGER/DISPLAY
        ADAPTERS. Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system.


2.2     Installation

        Windows 2000 uses Plug&Play functions to recognize your
        display adapter. Here is how:

        1. Device recognized. The "Found New Hardware" wizard
           will guide you.
           - click "Next" - choose option
           "Display a list of the known drivers ..."
           - click "Next"
           - choose "Display Adapters"
           - click "Next"
           - click "Have Disk..."
           - choose the directory from (2.1)
           - click "Ok"
           - choose entry "ELSA Synergy II
           - click "Next"
           - click "Next"
           - click "Yes".
           Now the driver will be installed.
           - click "Finish.

        2. The installtion of the display driver is finished now.
           Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system now.

        Note: Depending on your monitor at the next reboot
              Plug&Play will recognize and install a monitor
              device.

2.3     Verification

        Open CONTROL PANEL/DISPLAY/SETTINGS. Verify that you can
        read "Plug and Play Monitor on ELSA Synergy II".
        You should now be able to use a resolution higher than
        800x600.

2.4     Adjusting Refresh Frequencies

        Click "Advanced" Button on Display Properties Page. Go to
        Monitor Properties Page and use the DropDown-List "Refresh
        Frequency".
