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 upgrade 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.
