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: 

1. Create a driver disk by copying the contents of lsi_sas.sys-1.21.3.0.Win2K3.x64.zip to a floppy diskette. 
2. During power-up POST initialization press F8 If you need to  create a RAID array when prompted to enter the LSI BIOS Setup utility. 
3. During the Windows install setup dialog box 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. 

4. Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1 and wait until prompted to install a driver. 
5. Press S to specify that the driver is on the floppy disk, then press Enter.

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 4/8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID (i.e. a SCSI controller). 

1. Create a driver disk by exracting the contents of lsi_sas.sys-1.21.3.0.Win2K3.x64.zip to a floppy diskette. 
2. Start Windows. Windows launches the Found New Hardware Wizard, which searches for the controller driver. 
3. Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1, select the floppy disk drive as the source then click Next. 
4. If necessary, select the appropriate driver for your operating system. 
5. Click Next as needed to complete the controller installation. 
6. Remove the driver disk.
