      Fusion-MPT (TM) Package - Binary Images
====================================================

Binaries have been generated for use
with Red Hat Linux 7.2 for IA64 architecures.  
These binaries may be used to upgrade a 
driver without rebuilding the kernel or used 
to upgrade the driver during install

====================================================

Upgrading the Driver During Installation
-----------------------------------------

Step 1: For the version of Red Hat of interest, uncompress
        the tarball.
          
           # tar xzvf redhat_ia64_bin-<driver version>.tar.gz

Step 2: Transfer the driver disk image to a diskette
        using dd or raw-write. 

            # dd if=rh72_ia64.img of=/dev/fd0

Step 3: Boot EFI. Enter the EFI shell and search the mounted
	file systems (fsXXX:) for the install CDROM (CDROM will
	appear in the description).  

	Access the file system of interest. For example, 
	if the CDROM is on fs0, then
	shell> fs0: <press enter>
	fs:\>

	will provide access to the CDROM. Then enter the 
	extended Linux loader by typing 

	fs0:\> elilo <press enter>
	ELILO boot: 

	At the elilo prompt, pressing enter will result
	in a normal installation. To use a driver diskette, type 

	ELILO boot: linux dd <press enter>

Step 4: Continue with normal installation.

Step 5: Once installation is complete and reboot is successful,
        execute the post-installation script. Insert the
        driver update disk into the ls120 drive. Then mount and
	execute the post install script.  If the ls120 is 
	drive hdc, then
            # mount /dev/hdc
            # cd /mnt/ls120.0
            # ./post_install.scr
            # umount /dev/hdc

        Proceed with normal usage.

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.
