Installing device drivers for a ServeRAID-4H controller
You must install the ServeRAID device driver that comes on the
Windows 2000
CD
while installing Windows 2000. The Windows 2000 installation program does not allow
you to upgrade a device driver that ships on the
Windows 2000
CD. After installing
Windows 2000, you
must
update the ServeRAID device driver to the latest version,
which is on the
IBM ServeRAID Support
CD and the
IBM ServeRAID Device Drivers
diskette. Refer to “Installing device drivers after installing Windows 2000”.
Installing device drivers for a ServeRAID-4M or ServeRAID-4L

Insert the startable

server.

A few seconds after restarting the server, the message
Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver...

After loading some files, Windows 2000 will display a screen where you can man-
ually specify a controller. When this screen displays, press the S key to specify
additional devices.

6.
When prompted, press Enter to continue.

Use the instructions provided in the Windows 2000 manual to complete the nor-
mal installation process.

After you complete the installation, be sure to install the latest operating system
service pack.
Installing device drivers after installing Windows 2000
You can install the ServeRAID device driver
only
when installing a new ServeRAID
controller in the server. During that time, Windows 2000 detects new hardware and
displays the New Hardware Found window. Follow the instructions in the window. Be
sure to let the server search for device drivers.
