Profile PCI (LPPCI) bracket type.
1.2 Obtaining Windows NT/Windows 2000 Drivers
Before you begin the 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel to PCI host adapter
installation, create a Windows NT or Windows 2000 driver diskette by
copying the driver files from either the LSI Logic SDMS CD-ROM or from
the LSI Logic web site at
http://www.lsilogic.com
. If you obtain
the driver software from the LSI Logic web site, the zipped package that
you download contains the appropriate files. To obtain the driver software
from the Fusion-MPT™ (Message Passing Technology) Software Device
Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM, copy all the files starting from the
I386
subdirectory through the
MINIPORT
subdirectory
(I386/WINNT/MINIPORT
) to the root directory of a clean diskette. You
will use the driver diskette during installation process.
