Installing Your SYMC8XX.MPD Driver
Preparing a Symbios Driver Diskette
Copy the files listed below (supplied to you on diskette) to the root directory of a
clean floppy diskette, and use this Symbios Driver diskette during installation.
SYMC8XX.MPD
SYMC8XX.INF
New System Installation
This procedure installs the SYMC8XX.MPD driver onto a Windows 95 system. Use
this procedure when initially upgrading to Windows 95. Windows 95 automatically
adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directories.
NOTE: Some Symbios Logic PCI SCSI host adapters are supported by a driver
bundled in Windows 95. For these adapters, the bundled driver is automati-
cally installed during Windows 95 Setup. To change to the SYMC8XX.MPD
driver, follow the instructions for Existing System Installation after Windows
95 installation is completed.
1. Initiate Windows 95 Setup according to the Microsoft instructions.
2. Setup enters the hardware detection phase after a system reboot. (“Setting up
Hardware” message box is displayed.) If the message “NCR PCI SCSI Host
Adapter” is displayed, then the host adapter is supported by the bundled driver,
and it is installed automatically. After Windows 95 installation completes, you
can install the SYMC8XX.MPD driver according to the “Existing System In-
stallation” instructions.
3. If the host adapter is not supported by the bundled driver, Setup displays a
New Hardware Found - PCI SCSI Bus Controller dialog box. Select “Driver
from disk provided by hardware manufacturer” and click OK.
NOTE: If ASPI8XX.SYS (the Symbios Logic SDMS 4.0 DOS ASPI driver)
is loaded when beginning the Windows 95 installation, no messages about PCI
SCSI Bus Controllers is displayed. The installation completes, but real-mode
disk drivers are used. See Verifying Correct Driver Installation below. To
install the SYMC8XX.MPD driver (which disables loading of the
ASPI8XX.SYS driver under Windows 95), see Existing System Using
ASPI8XX.SYS DOS ASPI Driver below.
4. Insert the Symbios Driver diskette into drive A: and select the A:\WIN95 di-
rectory, then click OK. (If using drive B:, you must select it from the pick list.)
5. Windows 95 automatically copies the appropriate driver files and rebuilds its
driver database.
6. A “System Settings Change” dialog box is displayed. Remove the flex disk
from the drive and click Yes to restart the computer.
At this point, Windows 95 Setup completes and the new driver is operational.
To verify this, see the section “Verifying Correct Driver Installation”
NOTE: At driver installation, the Symbios Logic PCI (53C8XX) Miniport driver
defaults to Ultra SCSI support turned OFF. To enable Ultra SCSI support, see
Enabling/Disabling Ultra SCSI Support below.
