The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard package 
contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bun-
dled products. Below you can find a brief description of each software 
program, and the location for your mainboard version. More information on 
some programs is available in a README file, located in the same directory 
as the software. 

Note:

  Never try to install software from a folder that is not specified for use with 

your mainboard.  

Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named RE-
ADME.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain 
important information that is not included in this manual
