First version of Chipset Information Setup Program 3.0 Installation and Setup Instructions 3.1 Installation Method 1 Run "setup -b -s ". The VIA Chipset Setup program automatically installs the relative information of the chipset on your server. The Setup program copies the "ViaMach.inf" file to the '\WINDOWS\INF\' subdirectory, removes the related registry tree, and then restarts the server. The order of the parameters cannot be changed; it must be "-b -s". 3.2 Installation Method 2 Run "setup -s". Method 2 has the same effect as Method 1, except that the server does not restart. 3.3 Installation Method 3 Click the SETUP.EXE program. Then, the VIA Chipset Setup program automatically installs the relative information of the chipset on your server. The Setup program copies the "ViaMach.inf" file to the '\WINDOWS\INF\' subdirectory, and removes the related registry tree.
