To load the
SYMMPI.SYS
miniport driver during a new
Windows 2000 or Windows XP system installation or to load
the
LSI_SAS.SYS
driver during a new Windows 2003 system
installation, you can boot directly from the Microsoft
installation CD-ROM. The Windows drivers are not
interchangeable; however, the instructions are similar.
To install a new Windows operating system and its
appropriate device driver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Using another computer, copy the appropriate
driver files supplied on the LSI Logic
DeviceDrivers & Utilities CD onto a diskette. This
is needed in Step 6. To create the driver diskette,
open the driver folder on the CD, then open the
folder for the version of Windows to be installed
on the new system. Next, select all folders and
files within the directory and copy to the root
directory of a clean floppy diskette.
Step 2
Boot the computer from the Windows CD-ROM.
Step 3
Press F6 when the words
Setup
is
inspecting
your
computer's
hardware
configuration
appear, or when the Windows operating system
prompts you for nonsupported drivers.
Important.
You must press F6 for the new driver to be
recognized. Otherwise, the system does not
recognize the devices controlled by the driver
during the Windows setup.
Step 4
Follow the instructions until a screen displaying
the words
Setup
could
not
determine
the
type
of
one
or
more
mass
storage
device…
appears.
Step 5
Choose S to Specify Additional Devices.
Step 6
Follow the prompts and insert the Windows driver
diskette when prompted to insert the hardware
support disk. Select the driver version appropriate
for your system.
Step 7
Follow the Windows installation procedure to
complete the installation. Microsoft provides
documentation with its installation CD-ROM.
Note.
Refer to the
Fusion-MPT™ Device Management
User’s Guide
for detailed configuration and
installation instructions for all firmware and drivers.
