2.0  Instructions for installing drivers
_________________________________________

    After creating a diskette from the img file, install the driver
    using the Windows device driver update mechanism (see Windows Help.)

    For a new installation, press F6 during O/S CD boot and insert the diskette
    when prompted by the O/S installer. 
 

   
  2.1  Driver update issues 
  _________________________
  
  o  When you update device drivers on Windows Server XP, you may  
     see adapters marked "Not Responding" in the ServeRAID Manager 
     program. When the update is complete, the adapters will be 
     marked "Responding." This is a limitation of the way Windows 
     handles driver updates and has no effect on the system.
