ENHANCEMENTS


INSTALLATION
 
Installing the Driver in a New Windows System

 
In this scenario, you are installing the driver in a new system that has no operating system. 

To install the driver: 

* Create a driver disk by copying the contents of aarich.sys-5.2.3790.1433.Win2K3.x86.zip to a floppy diskette. 

*  If creating an array, press Ctrl+A when prompted to enter the BIOS Setup utility. 

*  Press F6 when prompted to install a third-party driver. 

Note: When F6 is active, a prompt appears at the bottom of the screen. Press F6 immediately—you only have 5 seconds. If you miss your chance, restart this Windows installation to complete it correctly. Otherwise, Windows will not recognize your controller. 

*  Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1 and wait until prompted to install a driver. 

*  Press S to specify that the driver is on the floppy disk, then press Enter. 

*  When the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID driver is found, press Enter.
 
*  Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete your installation.


Installing the Driver in an Existing Windows System 


In this scenario, you are installing a driver in a system that already has a Windows operating system. 

This system is expected to be booting from a controller other than the HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller (i.e. a SCSI controller). 

*  Create a driver disk by extracting the contents of aarich.sys-5.2.3790.1433.Win2K3.x86.zip to a floppy diskette. 

*  Start Windows. Windows launches the Found New Hardware Wizard, which searches for the controller driver. 

*  Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1, select the floppy disk drive as the source then click Next. 

*  If necessary, select the appropriate driver for your operating system. 

*  Click Next as needed to complete the controller installation. 

*  Remove the driver disk. 

*  If prompted, restart the computer. 

*  After the driver installed, you can create an array with BIOS by reboot the system, press Ctrl+A when prompted to enter the BIOS Setup utility. 

*  Or you can create an array from operating system. See the HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Managers for Windows. 

Note: When the current version of the HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver is installed, the system only recognizes the two SATA drives with the lowest drive numbers.
