Appendix B:
Software
After the X14SAE/X14SAE-F motherboard has been installed, you can install the Operating
System (OS), configure RAID settings, and install the drivers.
Microsoft Windows OS Installation
If you will be using RAID, you must configure RAID settings before installing the Windows OS
and the RAID driver. Refer to the RAID Configuration User Guides posted on our website at
https://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals.
Installing the OS
1. Create a method to access the Microsoft Windows installation ISO file. That can be a
USB flash or media drive, or the BMC KVM console.
2. Retrieve the proper drivers. Go to the Supermicro web page for your motherboard and
click on "Download the Latest Drivers and Utilities," select the proper driver, and copy it
to a USB flash drive.
3. Boot from a bootable device with Windows OS installation. You can see a bootable
device list by pressing <F11> during the system bootup.
