3.1 Installing the Product
--------------------------
The MBX Driver Suite uses the Installation Manager for controlling
the installation/upgrading process of the selected MBX products.

When updating the drivers on a Windows 2000 system with no Windows service 
packs installed, the MBX devices may need to be manually deleted from the 
Device Manager. You must then scan for new hardware to install the card(s) 
into the MBX Configuration table, and then re-enter the device settings.

To start the Installation Manager, use one of the following procedures:

    Auto-run 
    --------
    Insert the MBX Driver Suite CD into the CD drive and let the auto-run
    start the Installation Manager.

    Manual start
    ------------
    Run the Setup.exe file found in the MBX Driver Suite CD root directory.
    Click the Start button and select Run from the menu. In the dialog box,
    enter:

    {CD_drive_letter}:\Setup.exe
 
    Alternatively, you can double click the Setup.exe file from the Windows
    Explorer.

  Note:
      For systems without a CD drive, you can use a network CD drive
      to install the MBX Driver Suite.

3.2 Uninstalling the Product
----------------------------
To remove the MBX Driver Suite, click Add/Remove Programs in the Control
Panel.  Select the Schneider Electric-MBX Driver Suite, click the Remove
