5.4.1 LSI® SCSI Driver Installation

Windows XP Professional does not have drivers for the new SCSI controllers. You must load the driver manually prior to Windows XP installation.

A. Preparing an LSI Driver Disk

From the support CD, locate the LSI drivers in the following path:

\Drivers\SCSI\FUSION-MPT\Windows\1.08.22\WinXP

This procedure installs the SYMMPI.SYS driver onto a new or existing Windows XP system. Depending upon the media used to distribute LSI Logic drivers (web or CD-ROM), you will create a driver disk.

Copy the files listed in this section to the root directory of a clean diskette as shown below. Label this diskette “Windows XPDriver Diskette.”

You will use this diskette during the installation process.

\txtsetup.oem

\symmpi.tag

\32_bit\oemsetup.inf \32_bit\symmpi.sys \64_bit\oemsetup.inf \64_bit\symmpi.sys

Locate the onboard LSI U320 SCSI executable driver in the following path:

\Drivers\SCSI\FUSION-MPT\Windows\1.08.22\WinXP.exe

B. New System Installation

This procedure installs the SYMMPI.SYS driver onto a Windows XP system. Use this procedure when installing Windows XP onto an unused drive. Windows XP automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directory.

The method for installing Windows XP on a new system involves using a CD-ROM. Installation using boot floppy diskettes is not supported by Windows XP.
