Accessing disk image (ISO) files
There may be disk image files (ISO files) included on your PC that contain the installation software for
additional software. These CD image files are located in the folder C:\SWSetup\ISOs. Each .iso file can be
burned to CD media to create an installation CD. It is recommended that these disks be created and the
software installed in order to get the most from your PC.
