Windows Driver Installation

Version 1.3

2.3.4

Installing the Driver on a New Windows Server 2003 System

Follow this procedure to install the

LSI_xxx.SYS

driver onto a new

Windows Server 2003 system. Windows Server 2003 automatically adds
the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate
directory.

Note:

Windows Server 2003 contains a

SYMMPI.SYS

driver that

supports the U320, 919, and 929 devices. When you
perform a fresh installation with a device that is supported
by the bundled

SYMMPI.SYS

driver, you cannot load the

LSI_xxx.SYS

driver using the F6 key. Pressing this key has

no effect, and the

SYMMPI.SYS

driver is used. To use the

LSI_xxx.SYS

driver, you must upgrade the driver after the

installation has completed, as described in

Section 2.3.5,

“Installing the Driver on an Existing Windows Server 2003
System.”

A CD-ROM is used to install Windows Server 2003 on a new system.
Follow these steps for a new system installation:

1.

Boot from the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM. If necessary, change
the BIOS settings to enable CD-ROM booting.

2.

Press F6 to install the

LSI_xxx.SYS

driver when the screen displays

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 Server
2003 setup.

3.

Select S to specify an additional device when the screen displays the
following message:

Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass

storage devices...

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.
