5-11 Installing Software
The Supermicro FTP site contains drivers and utilities for your system at ftp://ftp.
supermicro.com . Some of these must be installed, such as the chipset driver.
After accessing the FTP site, go into the CDR_Images directory and locate the ISO
file for your serverboard. Download this file to create a CD/DVD of the drivers and
utilities it contains. (You may also use a utility to extract the ISO file if preferred.)
Another option is to go to the Supermicro website at http://www.supermicro.
com/products/ . Find the product page for your serverboard here, where you may
download individual drivers and utilities.
After creating a CD/DVD with the ISO files, insert the disk into the CD/DVD drive
on your system and the display shown in Figure 5-5 should appear.
