5. S/W SETUP
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
FastTrack133™ BIOS before installing the OS. Normally, this firmware will be
activated automatically upon first boot-up. If not, double check: 1) the RAID_EN
jumper, and 2) the BIOS default in the PCI Confiiguration sub-menu under the
Advanced menu: the “SCSI/Promise Boot Sequence” field should be set to [Prom-
ise/SCSI] and the “Load Onboard ATA BIOS” field should be [Enabled].
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. The system should auto-detect the
Promise Chip and the user should browse the support CD to install the RAID driver,
in the Promise driver folder: PDC20267. When prompted to restart, select No and
then follow all 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.
