ServeRAID device driver order on Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 For Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, the ServeRAID-4M and ServeRAID-4L controllers use a different device driver than other ServeRAID controller models. If you install ServeRAID-4M or ServeRAID-4L controllers in a server with other ServeRAID controller models, the order that the devices are listed for Windows 2000 and Windows NT might not match the order the devices are listed in the startable (bootable) ServeRAID Manager program on the ServeRAID Support CD and the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program. The startable ServeRAID Manager program orders the ServeRAID controllers by scanning the PCI slots for the first ServeRAID controller that is one of the following types: • A ServeRAID-4M or ServeRAID-4L • Another ServeRAID controller model Then, the startable ServeRAID Manager program lists the controllers of the first type scanned before the controllers of the other type. The ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program also uses this procedure to order controllers. For example, a server has four ServeRAID controllers installed in the following PCIscan order: 1. ServeRAID-4M 2. ServeRAID-4H 3. ServeRAID-4L 4. ServeRAID-3HB Because the first controller scanned is a ServeRAID-4M, all ServeRAID-4M and ServeRAID-4L controllers are listed first. Subsequently, other ServeRAID models are listed. In this example, the controller order in the server is the following: 1. ServeRAID-4M 2. ServeRAID-4L 3. ServeRAID-4H 4. ServeRAID-3HB Note: To determine the PCI slot scan order, refer to your server reference manual. Windows NT and Windows 2000 order SCSI controllers based on the device driver load order. For example, the device driver that is loaded first has its controllers listed first. Then, the device driver that is loaded second has its controllers listed second, and so on. When installing Windows NT, the order that you add device drivers to the server is the order that the device driver is loaded.
