Installing a MegaRAID Driver on the Microsoft Windows 8 OS
2.5 Installing a MegaRAID Driver on the Microsoft Windows 8 OS
Microsoft Windows Server 8 includes a MegaRAID driver in box. The driver version 5.2.122.0, dated April 3, 2012.
Consider the following points before you install the driver.
 If you want to use the MegaRAID controller for primary storage, see Section 2.1.1, Storage Configuration , on
configuring a virtual disk for the OS in a pre-boot environment. The Windows installation program recognizes the
MegaRAID controller, and it automatically installs a driver.
 If you want to use the MegaRAID controller as secondary storage, install the OS with the MegaRAID controller
installed. The OS automatically configures the controller with the in-box driver.
 Once the Microsoft OS is running on the machine with the MegaRAID controller, upgrade to the latest
LSI® MegaRAID driver.
