2.2.4 Installing the Driver on a New Windows XP System
Follow this procedure to install the SYMMPI.SYS driver on a new
Windows XP system. During installation, Windows XP automatically adds
the driver to the registry and copies it to the appropriate directory. To
install Windows XP you must boot the PC from the Windows XP
CD-ROM. Refer to your system documentation if you need to change
BIOS settings to enable the PC to boot from a CD-ROM.
1. Boot the system from the Windows XP CD-ROM.
2. Press F6 to install the SYMMPI.SYS driver when the screen displays
the message Windows Setup .
Note: You must press F6 in order for the system to recognize the
new driver. Otherwise, the system will not recognize the
devices controlled by the driver during Windows XP setup.
3. Select S to specify an additional device when the screen displays the
following message:
Setup was unable to load support for the mass storage
device you specified...
Note: If this message does not appear, the Setup program did not
recognize the F6 key press. If this happens, reboot the
system and try again.
The system prompts you for the manufacturer-supplied hardware
support disk.
4. Insert the Window XP Driver Diskette that you prepared earlier and
press Enter.
5. The screen displays a list of two drivers:
LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver (XP 32-bit)
LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver (XP 64-bit)
6. Select either the 32-bit or 64-bit driver by highlighting it, and press
Enter to continue.
You are returned to the Windows XP Setup screen.
7. Press Enter to continue.
A message appears to notify you that Setup is loading files.
8. Follow the Windows XP installation procedure from this point to
complete the installation.
