1.3.21 Ordering Additional Operating

System Drivers

If you plan to run any of the following operating systems on the computer, you must install the
corresponding Compaq device drivers and utilities before attempting to use the computer:

IBM OS/2 or NetWare

A version of Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation that is different from the
version included with the computer

There are three methods to obtain copies of suitable device drivers and utilities:

Order the Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop Products. This compact disc contains the
latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run MS-DOS, Windows 95,
Windows NT Workstation 4.0, IBM OS/2, and NetWare on the Compaq commercial desktop
product.

Purchase backup diskettes.

Access to the World Wide Web at www.compaq.com.

The Support Software CD can be purchased in either of two ways:

A single CD-ROM that gives one-time access to the latest support software (North America
only)

A yearly subscription that delivers up to 12 monthly CD-ROMs

The annual subscription provides continuous access to the latest Compaq Deskpro software drivers,
utilities, and ROM revisions.

When calling Compaq to place an order, be sure to have the serial number of the computer
available. The location of the serial number is shown in Chapters 5 and 6 for the desktop
and minitower computers respectively. This number is necessary for all purchases.
