•
The following steps assume that the host’s operating system is functioning normally and that
all adapters have been installed in the system.

driver. This is the is recommended procedure.

Software installation or upgrade on a host system with a large number of adapters could take
much longer than normal.

Download the driver package for your host system operating system and platform from the
Brocade adapters website

navigate to the
Downloads page. Select your operating system from the Downloads list or download the ISO
image

Brocade HCM, adapter driver package, and documentation from which you can create a CD.
You can carry this CD to your system for installation.

For Windows systems only, using a DVD created with the ISO image will automatically start the
correct installer program for your system. Make sure that the autorun feature is enabled.
