Windows Installation Note: If you haven't yet installed the hardware, return to the Hardware Installation section. The hardware must be installed before you can configure the Escalade ATA RAID Controller. As a Plug and Play device, the Escalade ATA RAID Controller 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/2003 system with an existing Escalade ATA RAID Controller, follow the instructions in: Installing a drive to an existing ATA RAID controller (page 46). If you have a new drive configuration without an operating system and want to install Windows on a drive managed by the Escalade ATA RAID Controller, follow the instructions in: Installing the ATA RAID controller while installing Windows 2000/XP/ 2003 (page 47). If you are installing the Escalade ATA RAID Controller on a system that already has the operating system installed on a unit connected to another ATA RAID controller, follow the instructions in: Installing the ATA RAID controller on systems that boot from another device (page 49). If you are replacing an installed Escalade ATA RAID Controller with a newer version, follow the instructions in: Replacing an existing Escalade ATA RAID controller with a new version of the controller (page 52). www.3ware.com 45
