Installing the Driver Software
When Windows first starts after a hardware device (such as a QLogic BCM57xx
and BCM57xxx Adapter) has been installed, or after the existing device driver has
been removed, the operating system automatically detects the hardware and
prompts you to install the driver software for that device.
NOTE
These instructions are based on the assumption that your QLogic BCM57xx
and BCM57xxx adapter was not factory installed. If your controller was
installed at the factory, the driver software has been installed for you.
