will automatically extract the files to the current directory.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Installing the Smart Array Controllers Non-Miniport Drivers is a two 
step process.  The controller device driver must be installed first, 
followed by the disk device driver.  It is recommended that you 
start with the controller with the smallest number of logical drives.
Once the disk driver is installed for all logical drives on the first 
controller, the Microsoft Windows Plug-and-Play Manager will 
automatically install it for logical drives on subsequent controllers 
that are changed to use the controller device driver.

Refer to the README.TXT for specific installation instructions.
