5. SOFTWARE SETUP
5.1 Install Operating System
You should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new
hardware to ensure full compliancy. You may use any version of Windows 98/2000/
Millenium, but for Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or later. For Windows NT
4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.
NOTE: To configure your system to use the RAID 0 or 1 option, you must run the
FastTrack100™ BIOS before installing the OS. Normally, this firmware will be
activated automatically when the ATA100 and RAID 0 or 1 jumpers have been ad-
justed correctly; (see Section 3.4.5 Motherboard Settings, Hardware Setup and Sec-
tion 5.5 Manual Installation fo IDE/RAID Drivers for more information about driver
installation.)
5.2 Start Windows
When you start Windows 98 for the first time after installing your motherboard,
Windows will detect all plug-and play devices. Follow the Add New Hardware Wiz-
ard to install all necessary device drivers. When prompted to restart, select No and
then follow the setup procedures in this section.
NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and expansion
cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and may not reflect
exactly the screen contents displayed on your screen.
