SDMS PCI SYMHISL Driver Update

Building the SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette

To create a SYMHISL diskette for Solaris installations, copy the raw symitu.dd
image file onto a 1.44 Mbytes floppy diskette. This process is dependent upon
the operating system that you are using to create this diskette. See the
instructions below for UNIX System and DOS System Users.

For UNIX System Users

Follow these steps to create the SYMHISL Driver Update diskette: 

1. Insert a 3.5" diskette into the floppy diskette drive. 

2. At the UNIX prompt, type: 

    #volcheck -v

    #dd if=/<path>/symitu.dd of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=32768

    #eject floppy

   The <path> is where the dd image is located. On this CD-ROM, the dd
   image file is located here:

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/DRIVERS/UNIXES/SOLARIS/SOLARIS/SYMITU.DD

  
    This command will dd the image to the floppy diskette to create a
    SYMHISL diskette.

3.  Label this diskette SYMHISL Driver Update.

For DOS System Users

1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbytes floppy
   diskette. RAWRITE3.COM, which is a public domain utility, is available on 
   this CD-ROM. Instructions for using this utility are included in its  
   accompanying RAWRITE3.DOC file. 

   The dd image is located here:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS\SYMITU.DD

2. RAWRITE3.COM is included on this CD-ROM at this location: 

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.COM

   After the image has been copied to a 3.5" diskette, use this SYMHISL
   diskette for Solaris installations as instructed.


   

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.
