Below requirement is specific for the Intel(R) 5000 Series Chipset Baseboard 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The use of a USB Floppy drive is required to complete the successful loading of the RAID drivers. Currently there is no Floppy drive controller on the baseboard, a USB Floppy drive is required to be purchased. For a list of validated USB floppy drives, please check the Tested Hardware and Operating System List for the platform you are using at http://support.intel.com. 

If the use of a USB floppy drive cannot be achieved, Microsoft* has specific instructions on how to embed the driver into the installation media. Please check http://support.microsoft.com for more information. 

A) This procedure installs the Intel RAID device driver on a new Windows* 2003 system. Windows 2003 automatically adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directory.

1. Start the Windows installation by booting from the Windows CD-ROM.
The system BIOS must support booting from a CD-ROM. BIOS settings might require changes to allow CD-ROM booting. See your system documentation.

2. Press <F6> when the screen displays: "Press F6 if you need..."

Note: You must press <F6> for the system to recognize the new driver.

3. Choose <S> to specify an additional device when the screen displays: "Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage devices..."
Note: If this screen is not displayed as the first user input, then pressing <F6> was not seen by the setup program. Reboot the system, and return to step 2.

4. The system prompts for the manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk. Insert the driver diskette containing the Windows 2003 device driver, and press <Enter>.

5. Select the Windows device driver from the menu by highlighting it and press <Enter>.

6. Press <Enter> again to proceed.

7. Return to the Windows Setup screen.

8. Windows displays a "Welcome to Setup" window. 

9. Press <Enter> to proceed.

10. Follow the Microsoft Windows installation procedure to continue the OS installation.


B) Existing Windows System Driver Installation:
This procedure installs or updates the Intel RAID device driver on an existing Windows 2003 system.

1. Boot Windows.  The Found New Hardware Wizard begins. 

2. Click the Next button.

3. Insert the driver diskette into the A:\ drive.

4. Click the Search for a Suitable Driver... button and click Next.

5. Click the Next button.
