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.

Installing device drivers for Windows 2000

Use the following instructions when you do one the following:

Install device drivers while installing Windows 2000

Install device drivers after installing Windows 2000

Update device drivers after installing Windows 2000

Installing device drivers while installing Windows 2000

Use the following instructions when you do one of the following:

Install device drivers for a ServeRAID-4H controller

Install device drivers for a ServeRAID-4M or ServeRAID-4L controller
