Do drivers need to be installed and, if so, which ones
Testing after installation
Remember that the system recognizes devices during boot-up. If you swap or connect a
product when your system is running, you will need to reboot the system. Rebooting the system
will reset devices and will often resolve problems. It is good practice to reboot every time you
add a driver or install firmware.
Caution
Never power off the drive while a cartridge is still loaded or during a firmware upgrade.
The server does not reboot after installation

You have installed an additional SCSI host
bus adapter and its resources are clashing
with an existing adapter.
Remove the new host bus adapter and check the
server documentation.
You have disconnected the power or SCSI
cable from the server’s boot disk during the
drive installation process.
Check that the cables to all devices are firmly
connected.
