thatyouinstallallrequireddriversfromthemotherboarddriverdiskusing"XpressInstall"toensuresystem
performance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional SATA
RAID/AHCIdriverduringtheOSinstallationprocess,pleaserefertothestepsbelow:
1. Copy the IRST folder under \Boot in the driver disk to your USB thumb drive.
2. BootfromtheWindowssetupdiskandperformstandardOSinstallationsteps.Whenthescreenrequesting
you to load the driver appears, select Browse.
3. Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of the driver is as
