Driver Disks - Adaptec RAID 2120S Installation Manual

Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Installation Guide

Driver Disks

Any system having an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller installed will
need to have an appropriate driver installed for the controller to
operate properly.
Note: When using Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition
to create and manage arrays, a system that is not acting as a
managed system will not require a driver to be installed.
Installations are easier when the drivers are available on a floppy
disk. Creating this driver disk from the CD included with the
controller is simple. There are two ways shown on the following
pages for making the driver disk. The first starts your system from
the CD and is suggested if you are building a new system, if the
system isn't running as you start this driver installation, or if your
system doesn't run Windows.
If you are adding a new driver to a system that is already running,
starting from the CD may not be desirable. For those situations,
you can create the driver disk by inserting the CD into a running
system (or by using another system, since this technique works on
Windows systems) and following the directions on the next page.
Note: When creating a driver disk for Linux system use, four
types of processor types are offered; i386, i586, i686, and
Athlon. Use the driver that supports the processor on your
system.
