Hardware-First Installation or Driver Update
The driver kit installer must be downloaded from the Emulex website and installed.
Notes:

Updating the NIC protocol driver may temporarily disrupt operation of any
NIC teams configured on the system.

To update the Emulex protocol drivers, begin this procedure at step 2.
To perform a hardware-first installation:
1. Install a new Emulex adapter and power-on the system. If the Windows Found
New Hardware wizard is displayed, click Cancel to exit. AutoPilot Installer
performs this function.
Note: If there are multiple adapters in the system, the Windows Found New
Hardware wizard appears multiple times. Click Cancel to exit the wizard
each time it appears.
2. Run AutoPilot Installer using any of the options listed in “Running a Software
Installation Interactively” on page 550.
3. When the AutoPilot Installer Welcome page appears, select an adapter in the list
and click Next. Installation continues.
Consider the following:

If you are updating the driver, the existing port settings are used, unless
otherwise specified in the configuration file. These settings are pre-selected but
can be changed. Set or change settings, then click Next.

If you are initially installing a vendor-specific version of the Emulex driver
installation program, a Driver Configuration page may be displayed. This page
includes one or more windows with questions that you must answer before
continuing the installation process. In this case, answer each question and click
Next on each window to continue.
4. Click Next. The installation is completed automatically. A dialog box is displayed if
Windows requires a reboot. Once the installation is successful, a Finish page
appears.
5. View or print a report, if desired.

View Installation Report – The installation report is a text file with current
Emulex adapter inventory, configuration information and task results.

Print Installation Report – The Windows print dialog is displayed to select
options for printing the installation report.
6. Click Finish to exit AutoPilot Installer. If the system needs to be rebooted, you are
prompted to do so as indicated in step 4; you must reboot before using the drivers
or utilities.
