Installation Instructions

This updated driver can be applied using the normal OS installation options.


The following procedure describes how to provide the driver during installation of Windows 2003/XP system:

NOTE: You will need a USB floppy drive in order to provide the driver during Windows installation. Some models of floppy drives have known limitations that result in driver installation failures. Intel recommends using USB floppy drives listed on the Tested Hardware and Operating Systems list for the serverboard you are using.

1. Extract package contents to a floppy diskette.
2. Start the Windows 2003/XP installation by booting from the Windows installation CD-ROM.
3. Press <F6> when the screen displays: "Press F6 if you need..." 
Note: You must press <F6> for the system to recognize the new driver.
4. 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.
5. The system prompts for the manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk. Insert the floppy diskette containing the Windows 2003/XP device driver, and press <Enter>.
6. Scroll down the list until the appropriate selection for your system which contains the Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology II and for your operating system displays, then click <OK>.
7. Continue with the normal installation procedure.
   If installation fails after the first reboot, try another model of USB floppy drive from the tested list.
