Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive and locate the PATH.DOC file in the root 
directory. This file contains the information needed to locate the drivers for 
your mainboard. 

Look for the chipset and mainboard model; then browse to the directory and 
path to begin installing the drivers. Most drivers have a setup program 
(SETUP.EXE) that automatically detects your operating system before instal-
lation. Other drivers have the setup program located in the operating system 
s ubfolder. 

If the driver you want to install does not have a setup program, browse to the 
operating system subfolder and locate the readme text file (README.TXT or 
README.DOC) for information on installing the driver or software for your 
operating system.
