5.2 Driver Installation
The Supermicro FTP site contains drivers and utilities for your system at
ftp://ftp.supermicro.
com
. Some of these must be installed, such as the chipset driver.
After accessing the FTP site, navigate to the CDR_Images directory and locate the ISO file for
your motherboard. Download this file to create a DVD of the drivers and utilities it contains.
(You can also use a utility to extract the ISO file if preferred.)
After creating a DVD with the ISO files, insert the disk into the DVD drive on your system.
The dialog shown in Figure 5-1 displays.
Another option is to navigate to the Supermicro website at
http://www.supermicro.com/
products/
. Find the product page for your motherboard and download drivers and utilities to
your hard drive or a USB flash drive, then install from there.
Note:
To install the Windows OS, refer to the instructions posted on our website at
