Installing an OS & Support Software
This section covers installing Operating System software
and the support software on the Power Installer support
CD-ROM disc. Once you have configured the CMOS Setup
Utility, you should install an OS. If you install a sup-
ported Microsoft OS, you should also install the driver
software on the Power Installer disc.
Installing an Operating System
This motherboard is intended to use the following Oper-
ating Systems:
• Microsoft Windows 9X
• Microsoft Windows NT
• Microsoft Windows 2000
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Linux
• Novell Netware
• Unix
Prepare the hard disk drive and install an OS according
to the instructions that come with the OS you will use.
Installing the Support Software
The Power Installer CD-ROM disc comes with required
hardware drivers for Microsoft Windows and some addi-
tional utility software, as noted in Chapter 2. If you have
installed a supported Microsoft OS, you must install the
required drivers. If you have installed Linux, you can
create Linux support disks.
