5.Press <S> to specify additional drivers.

6.Select Other.

7.Insert the floppy disk onto which you unzipped the Emulex driver in step 2.

8.If you downloaded the port driver, select a topology from the list and press <Enter>.If you downloaded the miniport driver, select your adapter from the list and press <Enter>.

9.Follow the instructions to complete the Emulex installation.

10.Remove the floppy disk that contains the driver files.

11.Complete the Windows 2000 Server installation.

Use Multi-Boot BIOS

Multi-boot BIOS is in compliance with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS). The system must have a Multi-boot system BIOS in order to take advantage of this feature. Multi-boot BIOS allows you to select any boot disk in the system BIOS setup menu. The boot disk can be a Fibre Channel drive, a SCSI drive, an IDE drive or a floppy drive. The Emulex BIOS supplies the first eight drives to the system BIOS menu. The Multi-boot BIOS can override the Fibre Channel drive that is selected in the BIOS utility.

For example, the system has only eight Fibre Channel disks. The boot disk has AL_PA 02. However, you can select AL_PA 23 in the system BIOS setup menu. The boot device will be the Fibre Channel disk with AL_PA 23 instead of AL_PA 02, as is set in the BIOS utility.

If your system supports Multi-boot BBS, the boot disk (drive C) is the first entry in Multi-boot on the system BIOS setup menu. The list of entries is determined by the list of configured boot entries in the BIOS utility. For example:

Adapter 1: boot_entry0, boot_entry1

Adapter 2: boot_entry2, boot_entry3

The order of boot entries that is exported to Multi-boot (BBS) is

boot_entry0, boot_entry1, boot_entry2, and boot_entry3.

However, Multi-boot can overwrite this order by using the following command:

boot_entry2, boot_entry0, boot_entry1, and boot_entry3.

In this case, drive C is

boot_entry2.
