Please refer to the Appendix C. for the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP
configuration.

Installation Tips

1. As Windows Server 2003 x64 can’t recognize the LSI MegaRAID SAS

8300XLP, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD 7.1 build
200 first before the installation.

2. Press F6 at the beginning of installation for providing the driver diskette

for the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP.

3. Select “LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 for

x64)” as target driver

4. After loading the RAID driver from diskette, follow the normal procedure

to finish the installation.

Chipset Driver Installation

1. After the installation completes, you would see the following devices

with yellow mark in Device Manager.

7 Altos G540 Installation Configuration Guide
