If these drivers are already installed into the kernel, upon system boot
they will automatically be associated with the hardware that they
control. However, if drivers are missing, they must be installed. For more
information on installing Fibre Channel drivers, refer to the HP Fibre
Channel Mass Storage Adapter Service and User Manual
(A3636-90002).

A pass-through driver is used to manage the robotics controller. Since
this driver is not dedicated for this particular device, it must be
manually installed. The following sections describe this process:

• Installing the pass-through driver (below)

• Creating a device file for the robotics controller (page 1-25)

• Verifying the installation (page 1-27)
