Using the Motherboard Software
About the Software CD-ROM
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard package contains all the
drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bundled products. Below you can find
a brief description of each software program, and the location for your motherboard
version. More information on some programs is available in a README file, located in the
same directory as the software. Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for
files named README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may con-
tain important information that is not included in this manual.
Auto-installing under Windows 2000/XP
The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and software for your
motherboard.
The support software CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows 2000/XP. When
you insert the CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive, the autorun feature will automatically
bring up the install screen. The screen has three buttons on it, Setup, Browse CD and Exit.
If the opening screen does not appear; double-click the file “setup.exe” in the root
directory.
If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still install
drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows Explorer).
Refer to the Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
Never try to install all software from folder that is not specified for use with your
motherboard.
