Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver

Introduction

This chapter contains step-by-step instructions for installing the Windows NT and

Windows 2000 SCSI Miniport drivers.

System managers must be familiar with the operating system under which the

also have access to standard system documentation.

The software kit that is included with the HBA contains the latest version of the HBA’s

files and drivers at the time of shipment. Software files are updated periodically and

can be obtained from the HP website:
