Adding the Windows 2000 driver

Perform the following steps to add the Windows 2000 device driver to a previously installed Windows 2000 system.

1.After you install the IBM FAStT Host Adapter, restart the system. The system searches for the newly installed device. If the system finds the new device, it indicates that the device has been detected.

2.If prompted to insert the device driver diskette, insert the IBM FAStT Host Adapter device driver for Windows 2000 diskette that you created in Chapter 4. When prompted, follow the instructions.
