Adding the Windows 2000 driver
Perform the following steps to add the Windows 2000 device driver to a previously
installed Windows 2000 system.
If you want to update a previously installed version of the device driver, follow the
procedures in "Updating the Windows 2000 device driver" on page 18.
Updating the Windows NT device driver
Perform the following steps if you want to replace an existing Windows NT device
driver with an updated version.
1. After you install the IBM FAStT Host Adapter, restart the system. The system
searches for the newly installed device. If the system finds the new device, it
indicates that the device has been detected.
2. If prompted to insert the device driver diskette, insert the IBM FAStT Host
Adapter device driver for Windows 2000 diskette that you created in Chapter 4.
When prompted, follow the instructions.
1. Open a DOS command prompt.
2. Change the current directory to the Windows NT device driver directory. For
example, type:
CD \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
3. Make a backup copy of the old device driver. You can copy the file into the
same directory with a .SAV extension, indicating that it is the saved file. For
example, type:
copy QL22 .SYS QL22 .SAV
4. Insert the IBM FAStT Host Adapter device driver for Windows NT diskette that
you created in Chapter 4 into your diskette drive.
5. Copy the new device driver over the old device driver. For example, type:
copy a:\NT\QL22 .SYS
Where a is the diskette drive letter.
6. If you are installing drivers from the CD-ROM, type:
copy z:\NT4\22 \NT\QL22 .sys
Where z is the CD-ROM drive letter.
7. Remove the IBM FAStT device drivers for Windows NT diskette or the IBM
FAStT Host Adapter Support CD.
8. Restart your system to install the device driver.
