1.0  Overview
_____________

  NOTE: This README provides information needed to install and 
        configure an IBM ServeRAID-7t SATA controller. 

  
2.0 Installation and setup instructions
________________________________________

    Install the ServeRAID device drivers that are provided with the
    IBM ServeRAID controllers on the "IBM ServeRAID Support" CD.  
    Refer to the IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Installation Instructions 
    (DEVDRV.PDF) in the /BOOKS directory on the "IBM ServeRAID Support" CD.
    

3.0 Troubleshooting tips
________________________

  o  When you update drivers on Windows Server 2003, you may see adapters
     marked as "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 Server 2003 handle driver updates and
     has no effect on the system.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

• Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

• If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

• Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

• Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

• Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

• From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

• Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
