Enter a temporary directory on the corresponding drive.This drive is called the driver disk.For a server with the operating system already installed, unzip the downloadeddriver package(s), and enter a temporary directory on to the local hard drive.Identifying Unnamed DevicesQLogic 8100 Series Adapters are plugged into PCIe slots on the servermotherboard. PCIe provides high-speed communication between the adapter andother components on the server motherboard. Devices that use PCIe have avendor ID and a device ID. The vendor ID identifies the device vendor. Forexample, the vendor ID 1077 identifies QLogic as the vendor. The device IDidentifies device types within devices for the same vendor. For the QLogic 8100Series Adapter, the device IDs are 8000 (NIC function) and 8001 (FCoE function).For Microsoft Windows, unless a valid driver is already installed, the device willappear in the Other Devices section of the Device Manager. To identify a QLogicdevice in the Other Devices section, match the vendor ID (1077) and device IDs(8000, 8001).CAUTION!A reboot may be required to complete the installation of a QLogic driver. If areboot is required, the driver installation process prompts for a reboot.NOTE:For Microsoft Windows 2003 operating systems, a Microsoft STOR miniportupdate is required before installing the FCoE driver. For boot-from-SAN, youmust install the update immediately after installing the operating system. For Windows Server 2003 SP2 or later, install Microsoft fixes KB932755and KB939315. For Windows Server 2003 SP1, install Microsoft fixes KB932755 andKB939315.NOTE:Windows Server 2003 does not support the use of USB memory sticks orCD-ROMs; therefore a 3.5-inch floppy disk must be used.
