4The Found New Hardware Wizard screen displays the detected hardware device.
5Click Next.
6On the Locate device driver screen, select Search for a suitable driver for my device and click Next.
7Make the Driver Files available and browse to the proper location from the
Locate Driver Files screen.
8Click Next.
9The wizard detects and installs the appropriate device drivers for the new RAID controller.
10Click Finish to complete the installation.
11Reboot the system if Windows request to do so.
NOTE: The Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system includes a device driver to support the SAS controllers. The system automatically detects the new controller and installs the driver. Check the version of the driver installed by Windows and update if necessary.
