About the Software CD-ROM

The support software CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard package contains all
thedrivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bundled products. Below you can
finda brief description of each software program, and the location for your
motherboardversion. More information on some programs is available in a README file,
located in thesame directory as the software. Before installing any software, always inspect
the folder forfiles named README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These
files may con-tain important information that is not included in this manual.

Win-dows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Professional x64 Edi-
tion. Usersneed to download and install the update packages from the Microsoft
DownloadCenter "before" installing HD audio driver bundled in the Driver
CD. Please logon to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;901105#appliestofor more information.

Auto-installing under Windows 2000/XP

The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and software for your
motherboard.
If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still
install drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows
Explorer). Refer to the Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
The support software CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows 2000/XP. When
you insert the CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive, the autorun feature will automatically
bring up the install screen. The screen has three buttons on it, Setup, Browse CD and Exit.
If the opening screen does not appear; double-click the file "setup.exe" in
the root directory.
