Please prepare:

• At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard

drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one

hard drive.

• Windows 7/Vista/XP setup disk.

• Motherboard driver disk.

• A USB oppy disk drive (needed during Windows XP installation)

• An empty formatted oppy disk (needed during Windows XP installation)

SATA port on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.

Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. For the BIOS Setup

menus, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Integrated Peripherals."

• Before installing the drivers, rst install the operating system.

• After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive.

The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen

shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer,

double-click the optical drive and execute the Run.exe program.)

After inserting the driver disk, "Xpress Install" will automatically scan your system and then list all the drivers

that are recommended to install. You can click the Install All button and "Xpress Install" will install all the rec-

ommended drivers. Or click Install Single Items to manually select the drivers you wish to install.
