Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System and Drivers
4-1 Operating System Installation
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID driver
during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you install
all required drivers from the GIGABYTE APP Center to ensure system performance and compatibility. If the
operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional RAID driver during the OS installation
process, please refer to the steps below:
Step 1:
Go to GIGABYTE's website, browse to the motherboard model's web page, download the AMD RAID Preinstall
Driver le on the Support\Download\SATA RAID/AHCI page, unzip the le and copy the les to your USB
thumb drive.
Step 2:
Boot from the Windows setup disc and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you
to load the driver appears, select Browse.
Step 3:
Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. Select AMD-RAID Bottom Device rst
and click Next to load the driver. Then select AMD-RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver. Finally,
continue the OS installation.
