Release Notes
The PowerMate 2000 Series Release Notes provide up-to-date information about the software
that comes with your computer. These notes also provide system configuration information that
was not included in the printed user's guide or online NEC INFO Center.
Applications
See the following sections for updates to software information in your NEC PowerMate 2000
Series User's Guide and NEC PowerMate 2000 Series Quick Reference poster.
Starting Up a Windows 2000/Windows NT Configuration
The first time you start up a preloaded Windows
configuration, you must choose the operating system you want to load. Once you choose the
operating system, it is your only operating system. The operating system you choose is the one
that the NEC OS Restore program restores.
Installing Applications, Drivers, and Utilities
NECC-provided applications, drivers, and utilities come loaded on the hard drive. You do not
need to install applications and utilities from the NEC Application and Driver CD as described
in your NEC PowerMate documentation. Drivers, utilities, and many of the applications are
already installed on your system. You can install the other applications through icons on your
Windows desktop.
Note
Install the NEC INFO Center from the NEC OnLine Docs Installer icon on the Windows
desktop.
Use the NEC Application and Driver CD to install drivers for system options that are not part of
the factory configuration. Also use the NEC Application and Driver CD to reinstall NECC-
supplied applications, drivers, or utilities when you are not performing a full system restore.
Using the NEC OS Restore CD
Use the NEC OS Restore CD to select a full system restore with the factory-installed software or
to restore only the operating system and drivers. If you select the full restore option, you do not
need to reinstall software from the NEC Application and Driver CD. A full restore installs all the
factory-installed software.
System Configuration
See the following sections for system configuration information.
Configuring the System for Microsoft Internet Explorer
TCP/IP must be enabled before you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer. See the following
sections to enable TCP/IP.
Note
On systems with Windows 98, the second boot of the system automatically installs
TCP/IP. For systems with Windows NT or Windows 2000, see the appropriate section that
follows for your operating system.
