Installing the SCSI Driver For Windows 2000/2003 and XP 8 After completing the installation, select Finish. 9 You will be prompted to restart the computer. Select Yes. Removing a Host Adapter Removing a host adapter can be as simple as physically removing it from the slot when your computer is shut down. See the documentation for your host adapter for more information. Windows starts and functions properly in this configuration. Note: Windows Setup does not delete the device driver from your system disk; it only updates Windows software configuration information so that the device driver is no longer loaded during system startup. Swapping a Host Adapter Swapping a SCSI host adapter for another SCSI host adapter is similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The important distinction is that you add the new SCSI adapter into the system first, before removing the old adapter. Note: If you do not install the new host adapter first, it may result in a Windows boot failure. If the operating system fails to start, remove the new host adapter and replace the original. To swap adapters: 1 Turn off your computer. Warning: Turn the power to the computer off, and disconnect the power cord. 2 Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the SCSI adapter by touching a grounded metal object. 8-7
