Chapter 2. Installing the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter device drivers and updating the BIOS code

Note: For the latest information about supported operating systems, versions of device drivers, utilities, and documentation, go to http://www-1.ibm.com/ servers/storage/support/disk/.

After installing your FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter, you must perform one of the following two steps.

1.Install the adapter device driver followed by the QLogic® SANsurfer Pro Utility program and update the adapter BIOS code and nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) using the SANsurfer program.

or

2.Update the adapter BIOS code and nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) via a bootable CD-ROM or diskette, using the flasutil utility program, then install the adapter device drivers.

Note: Step 1 is the recommended method for updating the adapter BIOS and

NVRAM.

Installing the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter device drivers

The device drivers and installation instructions for the following supported operating systems are provided on the IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD:

vMicrosoft® Windows® 2000 and Server 2003

vNovell® NetWare®

vLinux®

For additional instructions, see the README files for the appropriate operating systems, which are located in the corresponding operating system directories.

Note: For the latest information about supported operating systems, versions of device drivers, utilities, and documentation, go to http://www-1.ibm.com/ servers/storage/support/disk/.

To update the adapter BIOS code when the adapter is installed in the server with an Intel 32-Bit processor (IA-32), an Intel Extended Memory 64-Bit Technology (EM64T) processor, or Advanced Micro Devices 64-Bit (AMD-64) architecture only, you can use the BIOS Update Utility on the Support CD that comes with the adapter; or you can create and use a BIOS Update Utility diskette. When the adapter is installed in a server with an Intel 64-Bit processor (IA-64), see the README in the PCI-X HBA EFI driver package, for instructions about how to load the EFI driver (instead of BIOS code) and update the NVRAM settings of the adapter.

Notes:

1.The recommended method of updating the BIOS and the adapter NVRAM settings is to use the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility software.

2.For the dual port version of the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter, there is only one flash BIOS image for both ports; however, each port will have its own NVRAM setting.
