I. LSI SCSI Driver Installation
LSI Logic and Microsoft provide miniport drivers, called SYM_HI.SYS that are
bundled with Windows 2000 along with non-bundled drivers LSI_U3.SYS. These
miniport drivers complete the path to a LSI controller or processor with an optional
SDMS SCSI BIOS. The next sections describe these drivers and their installation.
Therefore, user only need to load the driver manually when the CUR-DLS M/B has
build-in with LSI SYM53C1010 SCSI controller. As for LSI SYM53C896 SCSI
controller, it’s always bundled in Windows 2000 system.
A. Preparing a LSI Driver Diskette
The drivers are located on the ASUS Driver Support CD at:
\SDMS\DRIVERS\WIN2K\
XXX2K
\I386\WINNT\MINIPORT
where
XXX2K
represents the specific Windows NT subdirectory. For example, the
LSI_U3.SYS driver is located in the
Ultra32K
subdirectory. Copy all the files start-
ing from the I386 subdirectory through the MINIPORT subdirectory to the root
directory of a clean floppy diskette. Use this LSI driver diskette during installation.
(-or-) Use the self-extracting image files for Windows 2000 drivers. For the
SYM_HI.SYS driver, the executable file is located here:
\SDMS\DISKIMAG\W2K_HI
For the LSI_U3.SYS driver, the executable file is located here:
\SDMS\DISKIMAG\W2K_U3
B. New System Installation
The SYM_HI.SYS drivers are bundled with Windows 2000. These drivers support
the SYM53C8XX family of LSI controllers. The LSI_U3.SYS drivers are non-
bundled drivers. The LSI_U3.SYS driver supports the SYM53C1010 LSI control-
ler. To install Windows 2000 on a new system, the system BIOS must support boot-
ing from a CD-ROM. LSI BIOS settings may need to be changed to allow CD-
ROM booting.
