Step 5 Connect the SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) to the
SAS connectors on the HBA.
The SAS31601E has four external mini-SAS signal
connectors, each connecting to four 3-Gb/s SAS
PHYs. The HBA needs to be connected to the
external SAS storage devices using the appropriate
cable. Four SAS external cables with the standard
SAS external plug connector (SFF-8088) are
required to connect to external devices.
Step 6 Replace the cover and the power cords. Turn on
the power to the system.
Reconnect the power cords and any network
cables. Turn on the power to the system.
The SAS31601E HBA hardware installation is complete, and
you are ready to install the operating system drivers.

To load the SYMMPI.SYS miniport driver during a new
Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP system installation
or to load the LSI_SAS.SYS driver during a new
Windows 2003 installation, you can boot directly from the
Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows drivers are not
interchangeable; however, the instructions are similar.
To install a new Windows operating system and its
appropriate device driver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Using another computer, copy the appropriate
driver files supplied on the LSI Serial Attached
SCSI Device Drivers and Utilities CD onto a
diskette. This is needed in
step 6 .
To create the driver diskette, open the driver folder
on the CD, then open the folder for the version of
the Windows operating system to be installed on
the new system. Next, select all folders and files
within the directory and copy them to the root
directory of a blank floppy diskette.
Step 2 Boot the computer from the Windows CD-ROM.
Step 3 Shortly after the Windows Setup begins, press F6
when the words Setup is inspecting your
computer's
hardware configuration appear,
or when prompted to press F6 if you need to
install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver.
Important: You must press F6 for the new driver to be
recognized. Otherwise, the system does not
recognize the devices controlled by the driver
during the Windows setup.
Step 4 Follow the instructions until a screen displaying
the words Setup could not determine the type
of
one or more mass storage device… appears.
Step 5 Choose S to specify additional devices.
Step 6 Follow the prompts and insert the Windows driver
diskette when you are prompted to insert the
hardware support disk. Select the driver version
appropriate for your system.
Step 7 Follow the Windows installation procedure to
complete the installation. Microsoft provides
documentation with its installation CD-ROM.
Note: Refer to the Fusion-MPT Device Management
User’s Guide for detailed configuration and
installation instructions for all firmware and drivers.

Consult the Linux ReadMe.txt file on the LSI Device Drivers
& Utilities CD. LSI provides Open Source Drivers that may
be implemented in the following ways:
• Adding precompiled binaries to an existing installation
using driver update disks or RPMs for selected distributions
• Adding or updating the Fusion-MPT ™
source in the Linux
kernel for any distribution
