DESCRIPTION: This contains the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility, developed for updating 
Windows Operating Systems with the Plug and Play feature on Intel chipsets. This software is not 
required or compatible with Operating Systems without the Plug and Play feature, such as Windows NT 4.0. 
	     
This utility allows the operating system to correctly identify the Intel chipset components and 
properly configure the system. The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility installs specific 
Windows INF files. The INF files inform the operating system how to properly configure the chipset 
for specific functionality, such as AGP, USB, Core PCI, and ISA PnP services. 

For more details about the specific INF files that are updated, please refer to the readme.txt file
that is included with the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Intel chipsets.  

	     NOTE: This does not support Compaq System Software Manager (SSM).

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory 
folder in the download directory.  All files are unpacked into this 
newly created directory.

To create the two optional installation diskettes, run MAKEDISK.BAT and
follow on-screen instructions.

3. After the directory has been created, you may delete the 
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. To install, run SETUP.EXE.  For example, enter:

   <path>\SETUP
   where <path> is the drive and directory created in step 2
                      - or -
                   a diskette drive letter if using the optional 
                   installation diskettes

   Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the directory 
created in step 2 if you wish.
