Chapter 4 Software & Applications

Introduction

This chapter describes the contents of the support CD-ROM that comes with the
motherboard package.
The support CD-ROM contains all useful software, necessary drivers and utility
programs to properly run our products. More program information is available in
a README file, located in the same directory as the software.
To run the support CD, simply insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. An Auto
Setup screen automatically pops out, and then you can go on the auto-installing or
manual installation depending on your operating system.

all the drivers and utilities for your motherboard.
