RocketRAID 230x Driver and Software Installation

Windows Driver Installation

Before installing the RocketRAID host adapter’s device driver, make sure the

RocketRAID host adapter and all required hard disks have been installed into the

system’s chassis/disk enclosure (refer to the Hardware Installation section).

Installing the RocketRAID driver for an existing Windows system

After the operating system has booted, Windows will automatically detect the

RocketRAID host adapter, and request that a device driver be installed. To install the

device driver, follow the steps outlined below:

1. When the “Found New Hardware Wizard” window appears, select “Install from a

list or specific location (Advanced)”, and click Next to continue.

2. Click on the “Include this location in the search” option, and select the system’s

floppy drive (generally Disk A). Next, insert the Driver Installation diskette into

the system’s floppy drive.

3. At the Hardware Wizard screen, select the floppy drive as the source, then click

the Next button. Select the appropriate operating system folder, then click the

Next button.

4. Windows will display a warning message that states the driver has “not been

signed”. Select “Continue Anyway”, then click Finish when prompted. When

windows asks to reboot the system, choose No.

5. Windows will then display a second “Found New Hardware Wizard” window –

repeat steps 1 through 4.

6. Remove the Driver Installation diskette from the floppy drive, then Shut down

and restart the computer.

Installation Verification

After the driver has been installed, and the system has been restarted:

1. Click the Start button, then right-click My Computer icon. Select the Properties

item from the popup menu.

2. In the popup window, select Hardware tab and then click Device Manager

button.
