Installation Prerequisite :
===========================
Your CSBFC1000 board *should* be pre-flashed with latest IOC MPI
firmware and PCI MPI BIOS. Please check ConnectCom website to download
this firmware.
Creating the "Windows 2000 ConnectCom Driver" Diskette
===================================================
NOTE: You can skip this step if you have the ConnectCom release
diskette. It is already set up as a driver diskette to allow you
to install the ConnectCom driver.
To create a driver diskette for installing the ConnectCom Driver
to a new or existing Windows 2000 system, copy all of the Windows 2000
driver files (txtsetup.oem, adv909.inf, adv909.sys) to the
top directory of a DOS formatted floppy diskette. Label the diskette
"ConnectCom FC1000 SCSI-FCP Driver for Windows 2000" and also record
the driver version number for future references.
New Windows 2000: Driver Installation
=====================================
This is the instruction for installing Windows 2000 onto a new
SCSI drive connected to the FC1000 Adapter. The Windows 2000 setup can
be started by booting from the "Windows 2000 Installation" diskettes,
or by booting from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. (Booting from a SCSI
CD-ROM requires that the CD-ROM is connected to a SCSI Adapter
that has its CD Boot feature enabled: hit Ctrl-A when the SCSI Adapter
BIOS banner shows up to see what features are enabled.)
** Note ** : If you are booting off of a CD-ROM drive connected to any
of the ConnetCom's AdvanSys SCSI adapters, you will have to add driver
for that adapter as well.
When the text phase of the Windows 2000 setup first appears, the setup
will ask if you would like to install support for SCSI or RAID type
devices. Indicate Yes (by pressing the F6 key). The setup program
will then allow you to use a device support disk from a mass storage
device manufacturer (press the S key). When asked to insert a
manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk, insert the
"ConnectCom FC1000 SCSI-FCP Driver for Windows 2000" Diskette. After
the Windows 2000 setup has scanned for drivers, you will be able to
select the adapter you want to install.
Existing Windows 2000: Driver Installation
==========================================
**** Installing new FC1000 Host Adapter ****
After you have physically install the Adapter into your computer,
turn on the computer. Windows 2000 will detect the new device
during startup. Use the "ConnectCom FC1000 SCSI-FCP Driver for
Windows 2000" Diskette when prompted for drivers or drivers location.
**** Upgrading drivers on existing FC1000 Host Adapter ****
Double-click on the "My Computer" icon.
Double-click on the "Control Panel" icon.
Double-click on the "System" icon.
Select the "Hardware" tab on the System Properties dialog box.
Click the "Device Manager..." button.
In the Device Manager dialog box, you will see a
"SCSI and RAID controllers" item. That is if you had
indeed install such devices on your system. Expand the
item by clicking on the small "+" sign. The "ConnectCom FC100
Fibre Channel adapter" should appear under the expanded view.
Doubleclick on the "ConnectCom FC1000 Fibre Channel Adapter" item and
select the "Driver" tab on the new dialog box that comes up.
Click the "Update Driver..." button. This brings up the

for a suitable driver. To use the Driver Diskette, checkmark
"Specify a location" and unmark the other choices. Click "Next".

and click "OK".
After searching for available drivers, the Wizard will display
the location of a recommended driver setup script INF file.
This INF file may or may not be the one on the diskette.
If there is a checkbox choice for "Install one of the
other drivers", checkmark it and click "Next" (otherwise, just
click "Next" and follow the instructions from the Wizard).
In the driver list box, scroll all the way to the right so that
you can see the location of the adv909.Inf setup script file.
You may see OEMx.inf (where x is a number) instead of adv909.Inf
if you have previously used the adv909.Inf in an installation:
Windows makes a copy and renames the Inf file for its own use.
Windows will not show adv909.Inf if it detects that it is identical
to the local copy (OEMx.inf).
Select the driver with the most recent Inf file (adv909.Inf or the
OEMx.Inf with the largest number for x). If you are determine to
to use the adv909.Inf file and wanted it to be listed, you may have
to cancel the current Wizard and restart the driver update procedure
after removing the OEMx.inf files from their currently listed
location.
Now, assuming that the Wizard will list the adv909.Inf setup script
file on the Driver Diskette, which youa have inserted into drive A:,
select the driver item with the entry "a:\adv909.inf" (scroll to right
on the driver list box to see the complete entry).
Click Next to continue. The adv909.Inf (or OEMx.Inf) file will tell
Windows where to copy the drivers from. Follow the Wizard's
instructions for the rest of the installation. Note: If you
encounter the "Digital Signature Not Found" dialog box, just
click "Yes" to continue with the driver installation. Digital
Signature (to be placed in adv909.cat) may not be available at
the time the latest driver is first released.
