Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver

Updating the HBA Driver in a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003
Host

On Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 systems where the QLogic
HBA has been detected automatically or a driver is already installed,
it might be necessary to update the current driver to the latest
EMC-qualified driver, as described in this section.

The following procedure assumes that you have already copied the
latest driver from the QLogic CD-ROM or downloaded it from the
QLogic website and put it onto a diskette.

Refer to the release notes provided with the driver for information that might
be unique to new driver revisions.

To install the driver into a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 host:

1. Boot the host (if necessary) with Windows 2000 or Windows 2003.

2. From the Windows taskbar, click Start, Programs, Administrative

Tools, Computer Management

.

3. In the left pane of the Computer Management window, click the

Device Manager

icon.

4. Double-click the SCSI & RAID Controllers icon.

5. Under SCSI & RAID Controllers, double-click the adapter you

wish to upgrade.

6. In the next window, click the Driver tab; then click Update

Driver

.

7. Follow the update wizard until you are given the choice to

Display a list of the unknown drivers for this device so that I
can choose a specific driver.

Click the button next to this choice; then click Next.

8. In the Select a Driver window, click Have Disk.

9. Enter the path to the diskette containing the driver (A:\, for

example), or use the browse function to locate the driver; then
click OK.

10. Select the driver that is discovered and click Next.

11. In the next window, click Next.
