Appendix B Installing Windows

After all hardware components have been installed, you must first configure Intel South Bridge RAID Settings before you install

the Windows OS and other software drivers. To configure RAID settings, please refer to RAID Configuration User Guides posted

on our website at www.supermicro.com/support/manuals.
