This section covers installing Operating System software
and the support software on the Power Installer CD-ROM
disc. Once you have configured the CMOS Setup Utility,
you should install an OS. If you install a supported
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 NT 4.0
• Microsoft Windows 2000
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• Red Hat Linux (or compatible distribution)
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 install Linux, you will need
to create support disks using the Make Driver utility.
