5.2 Driver Installation
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 motherboard. Download this file to create a DVD of the drivers and utilities it contains.
(You may also use a utility to extract the ISO file if preferred.)
After creating a DVD with the ISO files, insert the disk into the DVD drive on your system
and the display shown in Figure 5-1 should appear.
Another option is to go to the Supermicro website at
http://www.supermicro.com/products/
.
Find the product page for your motherboard here, where you may download individual drivers
and utilities to your hard drive or a USB flash drive and install from there.
Note:
To install the Windows OS, please refer to the instructions posted on our website at
http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/
.
