System Software

Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is
not the case, or where you are re-configuring your computer for a different system,
you will find the Windows Vista (with Service Pack 1) operating system is support-
ed.

Note: In order to run Windows Vista without limitations or decreased performance,
your computer requires a minimum 1GB of system memory (RAM).

RAID & AHCI Setup

Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to be done prior to installing the
Windows OS (see

“Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Modes” on page 7 - 2

).

TV Tuner Module

Support

Note that the TV Tuner
module (factory) option
in Windows Vista is
supported by the Win-
dows Media Center
software which comes
built-in to the Windows
Vista Home Premium
and Ultimate Editions
only
.

If your purchase in-
cludes a TV Tuner op-
tion, and you are re-
configuring your system
for a different system,
you should install either
Windows Home Premi-
um or Ultimate
Edi-
tions
only.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1

Make sure you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (or a Windows Vista version which
includes Service Pack 1) before installing any drivers. Go to the Microsoft website for
download details, or contact your service center.
