Chapter 4: Drivers & Utilities
This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utili-
ties essential to the operation or improvement of some
of the computer’s subsystems. The system takes ad-
vantage of some newer hardware components for
which the latest versions of most available operating
systems haven’t built in drivers and utilities. Thus,
some of the system components won’t be auto-config-
ured with an appropriate driver or utility during oper-
ating system installation. Instead, you need to
manually install some system-required drivers and
utilities.
RAID & AHCI Setup
Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to
be done prior to installing the Windows OS, and there-
fore before installing the other drivers listed here (see
“Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Modes” on page 7
- 35
).
What to Install
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc
contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the
proper operation of the computer.
Table 4 - 1, on
page 4 - 3 lists what you need to install and it is very
important that the drivers are installed in the order
indicated.
Module Driver Installation
The procedures for installing drivers for the WLAN,
PC Camera, TV Tuner and RAID modules are pro-
vided in
“Modules” on page 7 - 1 . Only install drivers
for modules included in your purchase option. Make
sure any modules (e.g. PC Camera, or WLAN) are ON
before installing the appropriate driver.
Install the Intel Matrix Storage driver to fully support
hard disks in RAID or AHCI modes, to display the
safe removal icon for e-SATA devices in the taskbar
and the Intel Turbo Memory module.
