SYM_U3.SYS . The SYMC8XX.SYS and SYM_HI.SYS drivers are bundled with
the Windows 2000 operating system. The SYM_895A.SYS and
SYM_U3.SYS drivers are nonbundled drivers. These miniport drivers
complete the path to an LSI Logic controller or processor with an optional
SDMS SCSI BIOS.
LSI Logic uses the same filenames for their drivers for different Windows
operating systems. The driver files are packaged either in separate
subdirectories based on the Windows operating system or on different
flex disks. To determine the driver file for Windows 2000, note that the
filename ends with
.SYS . For example, SYMC8XX.SYS . (The same is true
for Window NT 4.0).
To determine the operating system version, go into Windows Explorer,
display the driver file, right click on the filename, click on Properties, and
click on the Version tab. Finally, click on the Internal Filename in the
lower section. For Windows 2000, the filename appears as filename
(NT 5.0). For example,
SYMC8XX.SYS (NT 5.0) .
The sections below describe these drivers and their installation.
