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 the RAID system and installing
the driver for Windows needs to be done prior to in-
stalling the Windows OS, and therefore before install-
ing the other drivers listed here (see

“Setting Up

SATA RAID or AHCI Modes” on page 7 - 2

).

What to Install

The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-
ROM
(Win Vista OR WinXP) contains the drivers and
utilities necessary for the proper operation of the com-
puter. There will be two CDs provided; one will con-
tain drivers for Windows Vista, the other will contain
drivers for Windows XP (make sure you install the ap-
propriate drivers for your system).

Table 4 - 1, on page 4 - 3

lists what you need to install

and it is very important that the drivers are in-
stalled in the order
indicated (see

Appendix E

for

Windows XP information).
