version of the operating system).
3. Select the RocketRAID 268x controller driver, and click “Next”.
4. The driver is now installed – you can now commence with the standard OS
installation procedures.

Hardware” wizard pop-up window. Select “Locate and install driver software”.
When Windows asks: “Windows needs your permission to continue”, select
“continue”.
3. Select “I don’t have disc, show me other options” and then select “Browse my
computer for driver software”.
4. Specify the location of the driver and click “Next”. If you are using the
RocketRAID 268x software CD, the drivers are located in RR268x – Driver –
Windows – VistaWin2008 – 32 (or 64, if you are running a 64-bit version of
the operating system).
5. When asked: “Would you like to install this driver software?”, select “Install”.
6. Reboot the system when prompted. The RocketRAID 268x will be available for
