This part of the SANblade 2300 User’s Guide describes how to install the software drivers for the supported operating systems. See the section that corresponds to your computer’s operating system:

Operating System	Section
Windows NT 4.0	5
Windows 2000	6
Windows XP	7
NetWare 4.2, 5.x, or 6.x	8
Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2	9
Solaris SPARC v2.6, 7, and 8	10

Before you install the software drivers, you need to locate and download the appropriate drivers for your operating system. The latest version of the QLA23xx drivers are located on the QLogic Web site, http://www.qlogic.com.

QLogic drivers are self-extracting and meant to be downloaded onto disks. The installation instructions in this guide assume that the QLogic drivers reside on disks.
