Installing the Driver

In this Chapter...

This chapter describes installing the driver and setting up the new

array for the drives attached to your controller. Before you get

started, you need to select from the following scenarios for

installing the controller driver on Windows, Linux, or NetWare

systems:

■Installing the Driver in a New Windows System on page 2-2

■Installing the Driver in an Existing Windows System on page 2-3

■Installing Red Hat or SuSE Linux on page 2-3

■Installing the Netware Driver in a New NetWare System on

page 2-6

■Installing or updating device drivers after installing NetWare on

page 2-7

Note: You must have the most recent versions of Adaptec

Storage Manager and ARC utility installed to run the Adaptec

Embedded SATA RAID drivers.

Installing the Driver

Installing the Driver in a New Windows System

In this scenario, you are installing the driver in a new system that

has no operating system. To install the driver:

1Create a driver disk by following the instructions from the Web

site or the product CD.

2Restart the computer.

3If creating an array, press Ctrl+A when prompted to enter the

ARC utility. For instructions on creating an array from the BIOS,

see Chapter 5, Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility.

4When the array is finished building, insert the Windows setup

CD and restart the system.

5Press F6 when prompted to install a third-party driver.

Note: When F6 is active, a prompt appears at the bottom of

the screen. Press F6 immediately—you only have

5 seconds. If you miss your chance, restart this Windows

installation to complete it correctly. Otherwise, Windows

will not recognize your controller.

6Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1 and wait until

prompted to install a driver.

7Press Sto specify that the driver is on the floppy disk, then

press Enter.

Windows searches the disk for a suitable driver.

8When the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID driver is

found, press Enter. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions

to complete your installation.

2-3

Installing the Driver

Installing the Driver in an Existing Windows

System

In this scenario, you are installing a driver in a system that already

has a Windows operating system. To install the driver:

1Create a driver disk by following the instructions from the Web

site or the product CD.

2Start Windows. Windows launches the Found New Hardware

Wizard, which searches for the controller driver.

3Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1, select the floppy

disk drive as the source then click Next.

4If necessary, select the appropriate driver for your operating

system.

5Click Next as needed to complete the controller installation.

6Remove the driver disk.

7If prompted, restart the computer.

8Your installation is complete. If you want to create an array

from the BIOS, see Chapter 5, Adaptec RAID Configuration

Utility. If you want to create an array from the operating

system, see Chapter 4, Understanding Adaptec Storage Manager.

Installing Red Hat or SuSE Linux

Installing the Red Hat Driver in a New Linux System

In this scenario, you are installing the driver in a new Red Hat

Linux system. To install the driver:

1Create a driver disk by following the instructions from the Web

site or the product CD.

2Restart the computer.

3If creating an array, press Ctrl+A when prompted to enter the

ARC utility. For instructions on creating an array from the BIOS,

see Chapter 5, Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility.

4When the array is finished building, insert the Red Hat CD

Disk 1 in the CD-ROM drive then restart the system.
