5: System Configuration
This chapter explains what you need to do to assemble a complete system after you have installed the motherboard in a system housing. This will include installing or connecting internal devices, connecting external system com- ponents. Once the system is assembled, you’ll need to check and possibly configure the motherboard’s CMOS Setup Utility, install an Operating System and install the support software supplied on the Power Installer support
Installing or Connecting Internal Peripherals
To complete the assembly of a working system you will need to at least install an AGP video display card and connect whatever disk drives you will use in the system.
This section covers what you need to know on the motherboard side to do this. You will also need to consult the documentation that comes with your internal system peripherals for additional installation instructions and information. This section covers the minimum components you will need to connect to the motherboard to create a functioning system. You may plan to add other devices as well.
