5-13 Installing Software
The Supermicro FTP site contains drivers and utilities for your system at
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
products/. Find the product page for your serverboard here, where you may down-
load 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 5-7 should appear.
