Installing the Driver 14 Open the Device Manager. Look for a PCI Card entry under the Other Devices category. There may be multiple entries if you have multiple Adaptec RAID controllers installed. There may also be an entry called PCI Memory Controller. 15 Select PCI Card and then select Update Driver from the Driver tab. Note: If you are not prompted for a PCI card or memory controller driver, or if the Device Manager shows PCI Card with a yellow exclamation mark in the Other Devices list, you might need a patch for your motherboard chipset to recognize multifunction bridge controllers. Contact your motherboard vendor and apply the patch. After the patch is installed and the system is restarted, Windows will repeat the device discovery process. If you are installing the operating system, go back to Step 14 and continue the procedure. If you are adding an Adaptec RAID controller to an existing configuration, go to Step 6 on page 3-17 and continue the procedure. 16 Insert the driver disk you created earlier (refer to page 3-11) and let Windows search for the drivers. 17 Windows should identify the PCI card as Adaptec I2O RAID Host Adapter. Select Finish. At this point, you might need to force Windows to copy the driver from the floppy drive instead of the CD drive. 18 When prompted regarding testing the device ROM, select Cancel. 19 Open the Device Manager. If the Other Devices category shows a PCI memory controller, select it, click the Driver tab, and select Update Driver. 20 Let Windows search for the drivers on the disk your created earlier (refer to page 3-11). 21 Windows should now identify the PCI memory controller as Adaptec I2O Memory Adapter. Select Finish. At this point, you might need to force Windows to copy the driver from the floppy drive instead of the CD drive. 3-15

Installing the Driver
14
Open the Device Manager. Look for a
PCI Card
entry under the
Other Devices category. There may be multiple entries if you
have multiple Adaptec RAID controllers installed. There may
also be an entry called
PCI Memory Controller
.
15
Select
PCI Card
and then select
Update Driver
from the Driver
tab.
Note:
If you are not prompted for a PCI card or memory
controller driver, or if the Device Manager shows
PCI Card
with a yellow exclamation mark in the Other Devices list,
you might need a patch for your motherboard chipset to
recognize multifunction bridge controllers. Contact your
motherboard vendor and apply the patch. After the patch is
installed and the system is restarted, Windows will repeat
the device discovery process. If you are installing the
operating system, go back to
Step 14
and continue the
procedure. If you are adding an Adaptec RAID controller to
an existing configuration, go to
Step 6 on page 3-17
and
continue the procedure.
16
Insert the driver disk you created earlier (refer to
page 3-11
)
and let Windows search for the drivers.
17
Windows should identify the PCI card as
Adaptec I
2
O RAID
Host Adapter
. Select

force Windows to copy the driver from the floppy drive
instead of the CD drive.
18
When prompted regarding testing the device ROM, select
Cancel

Open the Device Manager. If the Other Devices category shows
a PCI memory controller, select it, click the

Windows should now identify the PCI memory controller as
Adaptec I
2
O Memory Adapter
. Select
Finish
. At this point, you
might need to force Windows to copy the driver from the
floppy drive instead of the CD drive.
