Device Driver Installation

Introduction

This chapter contains step-by-step instructions for installing the Windows NT SCSI Miniport driver. This chapter also contains information on the Tru64Unix and OpenVMS drivers.

System managers must be familiar with the operating system under which the PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is to operate. System managers must also have access to standard system documentation.

NOTE: This chapter describes the steps for installing the Windows NT device driver and for accessing fibre channel storage devices. For other configuration changes, see Chapter 6, “Windows NT Registry Information.”

Windows NT 4.0 System Requirements

Ensure that your system meets these minimum requirements:

■Installed HBA

■Windows NT SCSI device driver and registry parameter file from Diskette 2 of the software kit provided with the HBA

■Windows NT 4.0 Server with Service Pack 4 or greater
