ServeRAID™-4x Ultra160 SCSI Controller Device Driver Installation Instructions
Then, the startable ServeRAID Manager program lists the controllers of the first type
scanned before the controllers of the other type. The ServeRAID Mini-Configuration
program also uses this procedure to order controllers.
For example, a server has four ServeRAID controllers installed in the following PCI-
scan order:
1.
ServeRAID-4M
2.
ServeRAID-4H
3.
ServeRAID-4L
4.
ServeRAID-3HB
Because the first controller scanned is a ServeRAID-4M, all ServeRAID-4M and
ServeRAID-4L controllers are listed first. Subsequently, other ServeRAID models are
listed. In this example, the controller order in the server is the following:
1.
ServeRAID-4M
2.
ServeRAID-4L
3.
ServeRAID-4H
4.
ServeRAID-3HB
Note: To determine the PCI slot scan order, refer to your server reference manual.
Windows NT and Windows 2000 order SCSI controllers based on the device driver
load order. For example, the device driver that is loaded first has its controllers listed
first. Then, the device driver that is loaded second has its controllers listed second,
and so on.
When installing Windows NT, the order that you add device drivers to the server is the
order that the device driver is loaded. If you have a ServeRAID-4M or ServeRAID-4L
controller and another ServeRAID controller model installed in the server, you can
control the order that the controllers are listed by installing the device drivers for the
controllers in the same order that you want to have them listed.
When installing Windows 2000, the device driver for ServeRAID models other than
the ServeRAID-4L and ServeRAID-4M is included on the
Windows 2000
CD and is
loaded before any device drivers you add at installation time, such as the ServeRAID-
4M and ServeRAID-4L device drivers. You can change the load order on Windows
2000
only
by editing the Windows registry after installation.
Note: Refer to Microsoft knowledge base articles Q141832 and Q115486 for more
information about editing the Windows registry to control the following:
1.
The order the device drivers are loaded.
2.
The order the controllers are listed.
