operating system.
Perform the following steps to install the driver during Windows operating system installation.

®
Windows Installation CD.
2 When the message Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver appears,
press <F6> immediately.
Within a few minutes, a screen appears that asks for additional controllers in the system.

The system prompts for the driver diskette to be inserted.

A list of SAS 5/iR drivers appears.

NOTE:
For some Windows operating systems, a message may appear that states that the driver you provided
is older/newer than the Windows driver. Press <S> to use the driver that is on the floppy diskette.
6 Press <Enter> again to continue the installation.
Installing a Windows Driver for a New SAS 5/iR Controller
NOTE:
You do not need to install the driver on the Windows Vista operating system as the driver is native to this
operating system.
Perform the following steps to configure the driver when you add the SAS 5/iR controller to a system that
already has Windows installed.
1 Turn off the system.
2 Install the new SAS 5/iR controller in the system.
See "Hardware Installation" on page 15 for detailed instructions on installing and cabling the
SAS 5/iR controller.
3 Turn on the system.
The Windows operating system should detect the new controller and display a message to inform the user.
4 The Found New Hardware wizard appears and displays the detected hardware device.
NOTE:
In some Windows operating systems, the initial Found New Hardware screen may request to connect
to the internet in order to find the appropriate driver for the found device. Select No, not at this time.
5 Click Next.
