3ware Escalade Storage Switch User Guide Windows® 2000 or Windows XP Installation As a Plug and Play device, the Escalade Storage Switch may be configured to be your system's boot device. Or, you can use another device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the motherboard. Use your system's Setup utility to set the boot order according to how you install your operating system. If you are installing an additional drive to a Windows 2000 XP system with an existing Escalade Storage Switch, follow the instructions in: Adding a drive to an existing storage switch (page 78). If you have a new drive configuration without an operating system and want to install Windows on a drive managed by the Escalade Storage Switch, follow the instructions in: Installing the storage switch while installing Windows 2000 or XP (page 79). If you are installing the Escalade Storage Switch on a system that already has the operating system installed on a unit connected to another storage switch, follow the instructions in: Installing the storage switch on systems that boot from another device (page 82). If you are replacing an installed Escalade Storage Switch with a newer version, follow the instructions in: Replacing an existing Escalade Storage Switch with a new version of the switch (page 85). 76 www.3ware.com
