This manual serves as a step-by-step guide during the installation of your
LSI Logic host adapter.
Table 2.1 lists the 2 Gbit/s FC host adapters discussed in this User’s
Guide.
Hardware and Software Support The LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s family of FC
host adapter supports most major software operating systems, such as
Sun Solaris (2.6 and greater), Windows Server (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003),
Linux (RedHat, Suse, Caldera, Turbo), NetWare, and UnixWare. These
host adapters use the Fusion-MPT architecture for all major operating
systems. Fusion-MPT architecture offers the unique feature of having a
single binary operating system driver that supports FC devices and other
bus architectures. Refer to the Fusion-MPT Device Management User’s
Guide for details regarding software support for this family of host
adapters.
Before you use any of this family of host adapters, make sure your system
meets the specific hardware and software requirements shown in Table 2.2.
