5. S/W SETUP

Windows 98

5. SOFTWARE SETUP

5.1 Install Operating System

You should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new
hardware to ensure full compliancy. You may use any version of Windows 98/2000/
Millenium, but for Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or later. For Windows NT
4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.

5.2 Start Windows

When you start Windows 98 for the first time after installing your motherboard,
Windows will detect all plug-and play devices. Follow the Add New Hardware Wiz-
ard to install all necessary device drivers. When prompted to restart, select No and
then follow the setup procedures in this section.

NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and expansion
cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and may not reflect
exactly the screen contents displayed on your screen.

5.3 A7 Series Motherboard Support CD

NOTE: The support CD contents are subject to change at any time without notice.

To begin using your support CD disc, just insert it into your CD-ROM drive and the
support CD installation menu should appear. If the menu does not appear, double-
click or run E:\ASSETUP.EXE (assuming that your CD-ROM drive is drive E:).
