Driver Installation Procedure
Insert the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual
disc and click Install Drivers (button), or Option Driv-
ers (button) to access the Optional driver menu.
RAID Note: Setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode,
needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS,
and therefore before installing the other drivers listed
here.
Chipset
1. Click 1.Install Chipset Driver > Yes.
2. Click Next > Yes > Next > Next.
3. Click Finish to restart the computer.
Video (VGA)
1. Click 2.Install VGA Driver > Yes.
2. Click AGREE AND CONTINUE (button) to
accept the terms of the license agreement.
3. Click Next.
4. Click the RESTART NOW button to restart
the computer.
After the Video (VGA) driver has been installed, and
the system restarted, the OS will automatically run the
"Winsat.exe" to rate the performance. Allow time for
this process to finish and do not restart during this pro-
cess (if you have restarted the system see “Windows
Update” on page 4 - 8).
Driver Installation General Guidelines
The driver installation procedure outlined in this
Chapter (and in Chapter 7 Options & Modules),
are accurate at the time of going to press.
Drivers are always subject to upgrade and revision
so the exact procedure for certain drivers may differ
slightly. As a general guide follow the default on
screen instructions for each driver (e.g. Next > Next
> Finish) unless you are an advanced user. In many
cases a restart is required to install the driver.
