Installing Software Drivers
After all the hardware has been installed you must install the software drivers.
The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro CD that came packaged
with your motherboard. After inserting this CD into your CDROM drive, the
display shown in Figure 2-5 should appear. (If this display does not appear, click
on the My Computer icon and then on the icon representing your CDROM drive.
Finally, double click on the S "Setup" icon.)
Figure 2-5. Driver/Tool Installation Display Screen
Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the readme files for each
item. Click the tabs to the right of these in order from top to bottom to install
each item one at a time. After installing each item, you must reboot the
system before moving on to the next item on the list. You should install
everything here except for the SUPER Doctor utility, which is optional. The
Security and Graphics Drivers support multiple languages. Click the arrows to
pull down a menu of choices. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you to view
the entire contents of the CD.
Note: The memory size reported in the device manager may be less than ex-
pected because some is used by the onboard graphics. Higher screen resolu-
tions will take up more of this memory.
