Installation
We had no issues while installing the board. Everything worked perfectly as expected. The included manual is highly detailed and covers almost every part of the installation process. After a quick installation of the drivers we were ready to test the board out. Windows update might provide certain newer drivers for the LAN and Audio drivers, so after everything is installed get these updates as well.
