B-1 Installing Software Programs
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, go into the CDR_Images directory and locate the ISO
le for your motherboard. Download this le to create a CD/DVD of the drivers and
utilities it contains. (You may also use a utility to extract the ISO le if preferred.)
Another option is to go to the Supermicro Website at http://www.supermicro.com/
products/. Find the product page for your motherboard here, where you may down-
load individual drivers and utilities.
After creating a CD/DVD with the ISO les, insert the disk into the CD/DVD drive
on your system and the display shown below should appear.
Note 1: Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the
readme les for each item. Click the computer icons to the right of these
items to install each item (from top to the bottom) one at a time. After
installing each item, you must re-boot the system before moving on
to the next item on the list. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you
to view the entire contents.
Note 2: When making a storage driver diskette by booting into a Driver
CD, please set the SATA Conguration to "Compatible Mode" and congure
SATA as IDE in the BIOS Setup. After making the driver diskette, be sure
to change the SATA settings back to your original settings.
