NOTE: If you are a system administrator of corporate networks and you must download Windows 95 from a server to client systems, make sure that you have the Windows 95 backup media for the OptiPlex GX1 system on your server before downloading. NOTE: The following procedure applies only to versions of Windows 95 installed by Dell. If you must reinstall Windows 95 on your computer system, you also need to run the Intel PIIX4 INF Update Installer for Windows 95 immediately after installing the operating system. Doing so enables Windows 95 to detect and configure PCI devices controlled by the integrated 82371EB component. Before you can perform the update, you must make a diskette copy of the update software from the disk image on the hard-disk drive. To make the diskette copy, use the Program Diskette Maker, which is located in the Dell Accessories folder. Refer to the online System User's Guide for information about using the Program Diskette Maker. The following procedure describes how to install the update: a:\setup.exe The license agreement opens in the Notepad application program. The next dialog box lists the information (.inf) files on your system that will be revised by the update software. During start-up, the operating system detects new hardware and the Update Device Driver Wizard screen appears. Introduction 1-13
