USB diskette and CD-ROM drives

For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient, unless

otherwise indicated in driver-specific documentation.

NOTE:

HP recommends the use of HP standard USB disk drives.

HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided
by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB

devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available

normally. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Installing an operating system

To install an OS, download the SATA RAID driver and create a driver diskette with the software and

instructions from the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).

Installing a supported Microsoft® Windows® OS

1.

Insert the OS CD and reboot the system.

2.

When prompted, press the F6 key to install a third-party driver.

NOTE:

Press F6 within 5 seconds to enable the system to recognize the controller. If the system

fails to recognize the controller, restart this procedure.

3.

Insert the SATA RAID driver diskette created earlier. The system prompts the next action.

4.

Press the S key to specify the driver from the diskette. Then, press the Enter key. The OS searches the

diskette for a suitable driver.

5.

After locating the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID driver, press Enter.
