Note:

Please keep in mind that the Windows 2000 text mode
setup only displays the driver information, not every
controller found by that driver.

5.3 Installing Drivers for Windows 2000

This section provides installation instructions for new and existing
Windows 2000 systems.

5.3.1 New System Installation

This procedure installs the

SYMC8XX.SYS

,

SYM_HI.SYS

,

SYM_895A

, and/or

SYM_U3.SYS

drivers onto a Windows 2000 system. Use this procedure

when installing Windows 2000 onto an unused SCSI drive. Windows
2000 automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver
to the appropriate directory. Refer to the Microsoft documentation about
using boot floppy diskettes as a method of installation.

5.3.1.1 CD-ROM Installation

The

SYMC8XX.SYS

and

SYM_HI.SYS

drivers are bundled with

Windows 2000. These drivers support the LSI53C8XX family of LSI Logic
controllers, with the exception of the LSI53C895A. The

SYM_895A.SYS

and

SYM_U3.SYS

drivers are nonbundled drivers. The

SYM_895A.SYS

driver supports the LSI53C895A controller. The

SYM_U3.SYS

driver

supports the LSI53C1000 and LSI53C1010 controllers.

To install Windows 2000 on a new system, the system BIOS must
support booting from a CD-ROM. SDMS BIOS settings may need to be
changed to allow CD-ROM booting.

Step 1.

Start the Windows 2000 installation by booting from the
Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

Note:

If only the

SYMC8XX.SYS

and/or

SYM_HI.SYS

drivers are

needed, no user action is required as they will be loaded
from the CD-ROM automatically.

Step 2.

Press the F6 key to install the

SYM_895A.SYS

or

SYM_U3.SYS

nonbundled drivers.
