3-2 Installing the RAID Driver and Operating System With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system. A. Installing Windows As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI 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 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 disk 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. When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, select AMD-RAID Bottom Device first and click Next to load the driver.

Installing the RAID Driver and Operating System
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
A. Installing Windows
As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI 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
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 disk 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. When a screen as shown in Figure
1 appears, select
AMD-RAID Bottom Device
first and click
Next
to load the driver. Then select
AMD-RAID
Controller
and click
Next
to load the driver. Finally, continue the OS installation.
