Manually Installing the HBA Driver – Advanced Users

To use EMC storage array disks with a Windows host, you need an

EMC-qualified Fibre Channel HBA driver. The HBA kit includes an

EMC-approved driver, which must be installed and configured prior

to partitioning the storage array disks. You also should check the

QLogic website for the latest EMC-approved version. (Refer to

Downloading Latest QLogic Drivers/Firmware/BIOS files on page 1-2.)

These procedures are necessary if not using the SANsurfer HBA

Install Wizard (see Installing HBA Driver and Software Utilities on

page 1-43).
