WINDOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION

To load the SYMMPI.SYS miniport driver during a new
Windows 2000 or Windows XP system installation or to load
the LSI_SCSI.SYS driver during a new Windows 2003
system installation, you can boot directly from the Microsoft
installation CD-ROM. The Windows drivers are not
interchangeable; however, the instructions are similar.

To install a new Windows operating system and its
appropriate device driver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Using another computer, copy the appropriate

driver files supplied on the LSI Device Drivers &
Utilities CD onto a diskette. This diskette is
needed in Step 6.

To create the driver diskette, open the driver
folder on the CD, and then open the folder for the
version of the Windows operating system to be
installed on the new system.

Next, select all folders and files within the
directory and copy them to the root directory of a
clean floppy diskette.

Step 2 Boot the computer from the Windows CD-ROM.

Step 3 Press F6 when the words Setup is inspecting

Important

your computer's hardware configuration

appear, or when the Windows operating system
prompts you for nonsupported drivers.

: You must press F6 for the system to recognize

the new driver. Otherwise, the system does not
recognize the devices controlled by the driver
during the Windows setup.

LINUX DRIVER INSTALLATION

Consult the Linux mptlinux.txt file on the LSI Device
Drivers & Utilities CD. LSI provides Open Source Drivers that
may be implemented in the following ways:

• Adding precompiled binaries to an existing installation
using driver update disks or RPMs for selected
distributions.

• Adding or updating the Fusion-MPT source in the Linux
kernel for any distribution.
