Installing an OS & Support Software

This section covers installing Operating System software
and the support software on the Power Installer support
CD-ROM disc. Once you have configured the CMOS Setup
Utility, you should install an OS. If you install a sup-
ported Microsoft OS, you should also install the driver
software on the Power Installer disc.

Installing an Operating System

This motherboard is primarily intended for use with the
following Operating Systems:

• Microsoft Windows 9X

• Microsoft Windows NT

• Microsoft Windows 2000

• Microsoft Windows XP

• Linux

• Novell Netware

• Unix

Prepare the hard disk drive and install an OS according
to the instructions that come with the OS you will use.

Installing the Support Software

The Power Installer CD-ROM disc comes with required
hardware drivers for Microsoft Windows and some addi-
tional utility software, as noted in Chapter 2. If you have
installed a supported Microsoft OS, you must install the
required drivers. If you have installed Linux, you can
create Linux support disks.
