Before Beginning To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the ASMB-975 are located on the software installation CD. Before beginning, it is important to note that most display drivers need to have the relevant software application already installed on the system prior to installing the enhanced display drivers.
Windows 10/ Windows server 2012 R2 & 2016 Insert the driver CD into your system's CD-ROM drive. When the folder is dis- played, move the mouse cursor over the folder 01_Chipset. Find the executable in this folder, click to install the driver. ASMB-975 User Manual...
"Graphic" folder and click the executable file to complete the installa- tion of the drivers for the OS that you need. Note! If ASMB-975 Series carries an additional graphics card for VGA output, please set this additional graphic card as "major output" under the "Display properties" of OS.
