June 2015 Windows Driver Installation
Installing a MegaRAID Driver on the Windows Server 2012 Operating System
 If you use the MegaRAID controller as primary storage, see Section 2.1.1.1, Creating Storage Configuration Using
WebBIOS , 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 use the MegaRAID controller as secondary storage, Avago recommends that you install the OS without the
MegaRAID controller, shut down the system, install the controller, and let the OS automatically configure the
controller with the in-box driver.
 After the Windows Server 2012 OS is running on the machine with the MegaRAID controller, an upgrade to the
latest Avago MegaRAID driver is recommended. The following section describes how to upgrade the driver.
2.6.1 Upgrading the Driver for the Windows Server 2012 Operating System
