To install drivers after you install the HCA, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to your Windows Server 2003 host. Ensure that the InfiniBand HCA (Host Channel
Adapter) is installed on the blade from the Windows Device Manager as shown in
Figure 5-2. Notice that Windows could not recognize a PCI device because the InfiniBand
host driver is not yet installed on the system.
