Installing and Verifying Avid System Software

Installing Disk Controller Drivers

The Avid Product Recovery CD-ROM installs the device drivers

needed for the Avid supported disk controllers. If for any reason the

drivers are not installed properly, this section explains how to install

the drivers from the Avid application CD-ROM.

Install or check the device drivers for all installed disk controllers. The

drivers were shipped on the Avid application CD-ROM and on a

floppy disk with each controller ordered. You can use the driver on

the Avid application CD-ROM or the floppy disk. The example uses

the Avid application CD-ROM instead of the driver located on a

Windows 2000 CD-ROM. The installation procedures are for the

following disk controllers:

• ATTO Technology ExpressPCI UL3D/160 dual-channel —

Express driver

• Emulex LP850 Fibre Channel — LP6NDS35 driver

If you need to know the current version of a storage driver, call Avid

Customer Support.

During its first boot, the Windows 2000 operating system finds the

ATTO SCSI and Emulex controller board hardware (disk hardware),

but no drivers are found for the disk hardware. This causes the

Windows 2000 operating system to place the disk hardware in the

Other Devices category. The following list gives you an overview of

where drivers are located and general information about them.

• The ATTO SCSI driver, ATTO Express PCI, is located on the Avid

application CD-ROM.

• The F/C driver, Emulex 6000/7000/8000/9000 PCI F/C, is located

on the Avid application CD-ROM.

• If your SCSI controller is dual channel, you need to install the SCSI

driver twice, once for each channel.

• The SCSI driver asks you to restart after you install it, but the F/C

driver doesn’t.
