Installing the Driver
In this Chapter...
This chapter presents several scenarios for installing the controller
driver. The scenarios depend on the following terminology:
■ New system—The computer has no operating system and the
driver installation is a part of the operating system installation.
■ Existing system—The computer has an operating system and
the Adaptec 2410SA is being installed as a secondary controller.
Adaptec recommends the following driver installation workflow:
1 Create a driver disk. See Creating the Driver Disk on page 3-2 for
details.
2 Identify the appropriate operating system and installation
scenario for your computer.
3 Familiarize yourself with the supported RAID types. You will
need to select a RAID type during your driver installation. See
Appendix D for details.
4 Read and understand the entire installation procedure.
5 Proceed with the installation.
