Software

This part of the SANblade 2300 User’s Guide describes how to install the software 
drivers for the supported operating systems. See the section that corresponds to 
your computer’s operating system:

Before you install the software drivers, you need to locate and download the 
appropriate drivers for your operating system. The latest version of the QLA23xx 
drivers are located on the QLogic Web site, http://www.qlogic.com.

QLogic drivers are self-extracting and meant to be downloaded onto disks. The 
installation instructions in this guide assume that the QLogic drivers reside on disks.
