Installing Windows

After all hardware components have been installed, you must fi rst confi gure Intel

South Bridge RAID Settings before you install the Windows OS and other software

drivers. To confi gure RAID settings, please refer to RAID Confi guration User Guides

displayed on your screen after loading the Operating System CD.

B-1 Installing Windows for a RAID System

Insert Microsoft's Windows XP/Windows 2003 Setup CD in the CD drive and

the system will start booting up from the CD.

Press the <F6> key when the message "Press F6 if you need to install a third

party SCSI or RAID driver" displays.

When the Windows XP/Windows 2003 Setup screen appears, press "S" to

specify additional device(s).

Press the <Enter> key to continue the installation process. (If you need to

specify any additional devices to be installed, do so at this time.) Once all

devices are specifi ed, press the <Enter> key to continue with the installation.

From the Windows setup screen, press the <Enter> key. The program will

automatically load all device fi les and then continue the Windows installation.

After the installation is complete, the system will automatically reboot.
