CD comes with the product. Internet is required to install
the LCD module.
There are two versions from this
LCD module. If you own our HTPC 1000/2000/5000/6000/8000/1080P HTPC
cases, and you wish to upgrade them with a 20X2 programmable
LCD, you should purchase the non-5.25” bay version (OEM
version) of the PRO-LCD.
If you do not own the HTPC cases
above, and you have a 5.25” bay available and you want to
add the 20X2 programmable LCD, you should purchase the
PRO-LCD-B or PRO-LCD-S version that built in a 5.25” bay
chassis. B is the Black aluminum face plate model, and S is
the Silver aluminum face plate model.
