5.Click theFinish button when the setup wizard indicates that the driver installation has completed.

6.The drive is installed and ready for use on your system. It may be necessary to open the Windows Device Manager and click the Scan for Hardware Changes button to see the drive and its driver.

Installing the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Support Pack on a Linux System

This section describes how to install the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator software on a Linux system. Start by shutting down your PC, then boot into Linux.

NOTE: Refer to the Readme document in the Linux Driver folder in the support pack for additional notes on version-specific release behavior.

Installing the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Driver for RHEL 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8

For RHEL versions 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8, the package name of our RHEL driver is mtip32xx-<version>.x86_64_rhel5ux.

1.If a device driver was previously installed and your system has the HP driver version 1.2.30 or earlier, you must first uninstall the existing driver:

a.As a root user, run rpm -e <driver_name> where <driver-name> is mtip32xx (or mtip2xx for version 1.2.30 or earlier).

b.As a root user, run depmod.

c.Reboot the system

2.For a new installation:

a.As a root user, run rpm -ivh <rpm-name> where <rpm-name> is mtip32xx-<version>.x86_64_rhel5ux.rpm.

b.Run depmod.

c.Reboot the system.

3.To upgrade your driver to a newer version:
