Setup

Like most Nettops, the ASRock ION 330HT-BD does not ship with an installed OS. To get the operating system - Windows Vista in this case - you will not need any additional hardware, as was the case with the Zotac MAG Ion, which lacks an optical drive. Thanks to the Blu-Ray drive in the ASRock ION 330HT-BD, installing Windows is done just like you would on any other PC. Service Pack 2 was installed as well so that HDMI Audio is supported. The systems were connected to an LG 32 inch LCD TV, with a native 720p resolution and the ability to accept a 1080p input signal. So, while we may not see all the information, it is being sent to the TV.
