Installing Support Software
This section covers installing Operating System software and the
support software on the Power Installer support 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 Operating Sys-
tems:
• Microsoft Windows 9X

Prepare the hard disk drive and install an OS according to the in-
structions 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 additional utility software.
If you have installed a supported Microsoft OS, you must install the
required ALi drivers. If you have installed Linux, you can create
Linux support disks.
