1.3 Quick Windows Driver Installation

To load the SYMMPI.SYS miniport driver during a new Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows .NET system installation, you can boot directly from the Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows drivers are not interchangeable; however, the instructions are very similar.

To install a new Windows operating system and its appropriate device driver, follow these steps:

Step 1. Have the Microsoft Windows driver diskette available to insert into drive A when prompted.

Step 2. Boot the computer from the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM.

Step 3. Press F6 when the words Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration appear, or when Windows prompts you for nonsupported drivers.

Important: You must press F6 for the new driver to be recognized. Oth- erwise, the system does not recognize the devices controlled by the driver during the Windows setup.

Step 4. Follow the instructions until a screen displaying the words

Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage device… appears.

Step 5. Choose S to Specify Additional Devices.

Step 6. Follow the prompts and insert the Windows driver diskette when prompted.

Step 7. Follow the Microsoft Windows installation procedure to complete the installation. Microsoft provides documentation with their installation CD-ROM.

Step 8. If you are installing Windows NT 4.0, also install the Service Packs 5 or higher after Windows NT 4.0 has been installed.

Note: Refer to the Fusion-MPT™ Device Management User’s Guide for detailed conﬁguration and installation instructions for all ﬁrmware and drivers.
