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 Control 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 file on the Support\Download\SATA RAID/AHCI page, unzip the file and copy the files 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 drivers. Follow the on-screen instructions to
install the following three drivers in order.
jAMD-RAID Bottom Device
kAMD-RAID Controller
lAMD-RAID Config Device
Finally, continue the OS installation.
