Preparing the Host System Installing RAID Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Device Drivers The Fibre Channel Software and RAID Windows NT (HszDisk.sys) or Windows 2000 (HsxDisk.sys) Device Driver software is installed on your host server from the RAID Array Software Solution CD-ROM. After you insert the CD-ROM, the program should start automatically. Note: If the program does not start after inserting the CD-ROM, go to the CD-ROM drive directory and click launch.exe in the root directory. The software installation program provides one main option: Solution Software for Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit). 1. Select the Solution Software option. 2. Select the Perform Multi Driver Install/Update option. 3. Select the Run Fibre Channel Utility option from the menu that appears after the driver upgrade is completed. 4. Choose the setup that matches your system configuration from the options that are presented. The Fibre Channel Software performs as follows: ■ Installs the Hsz/HsxDisk SCSI Driver. ■ Sets registry for proper operational use of the FCA Fibre Channel host adapter with the Enterprise Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel system. ■ Enables "Extended Configuration" settings to be specified in a Fibre Channel Switch (FC-SW) topology and Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) topology. ■ Copies the appropriate driver to the%systemroot%\system32\drivers folder. ■ Checks for SCSI related error log events since the last system boot. ■ Reports SCSI driver revision information.
