Install OS

5.1 Install Operating System

You should always use the latest operating system and updates when using
new hardware to ensure full compliancy. You may use any version of Win-
dows 98/2000/Millenium, but for Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or
later. For Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.

5.2 Start Windows

When you start Windows 98 for the first time after installing your mother-
board, Windows will detect all plug-and play devices. Follow the Add New
Hardware Wizard to install all necessary device drivers. When prompted
to restart, select No and then follow the setup procedures in this section.

NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and ex-
pansion cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and
may not be an exact reflection of your system.
