INSTALL AND CONFIGURE PERIPHERALS/ DEVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND/ OR OS INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Background Information for Learners
Peripheral/ The peripheral devices are those devices which are connected to the
Devices computer and it helps the computer function. These devices contain
both the input devices, which are used to give command to the
computer and the output devices, which help computer showing the
result to the user. The computer works with many peripheral devices so
it's important to know that how much these devices can be installed in
the computer and how can a persona configure them.
Device Drivers A device driver (commonly referred to as a driver) is a computer
program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is
attached to a computer.[1] A driver provides a software interface to
hardware devices, enabling operating systems and other computer
programs to access hardware functions without needing to know
precise details of the hardware being used.
A driver typically communicates with the device through
the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the
hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the
driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device
sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the
original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and
operating-systemspecific. They usually provide the interrupt handling
required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware
interface.

Because of the diversity of modern hardware and operating systems, drivers operate
in many different environments.
• printers
• video adapters
• Network cards
• Sound cards
Drivers may interface with:
• Local buses of various sorts—in particular, for
bus mastering on modern systems

• Low-bandwidth I/O buses of various sorts (for


pointing devices such as mice, keyboards, USB,
etc.)
Computer storage devices • Implementing support for different file systems
such as hard disk, • Image scanners
CDROM, and floppy • Digital cameras
disk buses (ATA, SATA,
SCSI)
Common levels of For hardware:
abstraction for device drivers • Interfacing directly
include: • Writing to or reading from a device control
register
• Using some higher-level interface (e.g.
Video BIOS)
• Using another lower-level device driver
(e.g. file system drivers using disk drivers)
• Simulating work with hardware, while
doing something entirely different
• For software:
• Allowing the operating system direct
access to hardware resources
• Implementing only primitives
• Implementing an interface for non-driver
software (e.g., TWAIN)
• Implementing a language, sometimes quite
highlevel (e.g., PostScript)

So, choosing and installing the correct device drivers for given hardware is often a key
component of computer system configuration
To install a Plug and Play device
1. Plug the new device into the computer.
2. In the Found New Hardware dialog box choose one of the following:
• Locate and install driver software. Selecting this option begins the installation
process. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic.
• Ask me again later. The device is not installed and no configuration change is
made to your computer. If the device is still plugged in the next time you log on to the
computer, then this dialog box appears again.
• Don't show this message again for this device. Selecting this option configures the
Plug and Play service to not install the driver for this device, and does not make the
device functional. To complete the installation of the device driver, you must detach
the device and reattach it.
To install a non-Plug and Play device
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Right-click the top node in the details pane.
3. Click Add legacy hardware.

4. In the Add Hardware Wizard, click Next, and then follow the instructions on your
screen.

How Can I Install These Drivers?


There are two options for this job. Manual or Automatic. In manual installation, you
will have to go to the manufacturer’s official site and look for your device model whereas
in automatic, you just have to click some buttons and the software will do the job.
Windows have its built-in feature to update the software automatically thru
Windows Update, but sometimes it doesn't do the job well. Let's try to update my
Ethernet Controller thru Windows Update and see if it can get the job well done.

Right Click on the device and


choose Update Driver Software

Choose Search automatically for


updated driver software.

Windows is now searching the


device driver software.

Windows was unable to install the device driver software.


Not because Windows was unable to do the job means that you'll have to go for a
manual installation. This time, we will use an open source automatic driver software
installer called Driver Pack Solution.
Right click on the
DriverPackSolution.exe and Run as
Administrator.

The program automatically


detects missing hardware and will
tell if it is in the database. Click
the Install button

It automatically creates restore


point so you can rollback changes.

Device drivers to be installed will


be shown. Choose the drivers you
want to install and click Start
Installation.

Once started, you'll just have to


wait for 5 to 10 minutes
depending on how many drivers
are to be installed.
Now it’s done. All drivers are
installed. It is advised to restart
your computer for the drivers to
take effect.

Go back to Device Manager and


check if the drivers are installed.
In my case, the two devices are
now installed.

So that's how you install device drivers. Although these automatic drivers’ installers are
supporting most of the drivers, sometimes you might have a device which is not yet in the
database, so you have to wait for the Driver pack Solution software update or you can
manually install the driver:)
