January 20, 201115 yr I have a M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 and I want to update its drivers. I am thinking of detaching all the servers hdds and plugging in an new hdd to one of the mobo sata ports and then installing Windows 7 and updating the drivers that way. Would this be ok or is there an easier way?
January 20, 201115 yr There are four types of motherboards that match that description: Asus search results Specifically which one do you have? If your motherboard has an expressgate feature, then you can use that to update the BIOS directly from a flash drive, without having to change any hardware on your server.
January 20, 201115 yr Author There are two versions of this board:- usb3 and non usb3. I can update the board's BIOS easily. How do I update the graphics card, NIC, USB, SATA, HDMI drivers etc?
January 20, 201115 yr Ah, I see. As far as I know, updating all those things would require a custom unRAID kernel (and I don't really know what that means either). The drivers reside in the OS, not the motherboard itself. Are you having problems with the board, or do you want to update just for the heck of it?

In this case it's part of unRAID's Linux distro. In order to update them, you'd have to roll your own updated unRAID bzroot file or run on a full Slackware 13.2 (Current) distro.
