Installing the RAID Driver and Operating System With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system. If you want to install an operating system on an M.2 PCIe SSD or a RAID volume, you need to install the Intel® RST VMD Controller driver first during the OS installation process. Refer to the steps below: Step 1: Go to GIGABYTE's website, browse to the motherboard model's web page, download the Intel SATA 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 driver. When a screen as shown below appears, select Intel RST VMD Controller 467F and click Next to load the driver and continue the OS installation. - 7 -
