1.0 Introduction for Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 is an operating system designed to run on Intel
architecture (x86, 32-bit), Itanium Processor Family (IA64), and Extended-64
(x64, AMD64/EM64T) processors using current technology. It provides a graphical
user interface environment incorporating many high-level features. Refer to the
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation for details.
An I/O manager handles I/O requests in Windows Server 2003. To address a
peripheral, the I/O manager goes through the appropriate drivers. Windows
Server 2003 provides class drivers for hard disk, optical, CD-ROM, printer,
and scanner peripherals. Other class drivers, provided by peripheral
manufacturers, may be added to support new devices. Tape device support is
built into the operating system itself and does not require a class driver.
Microsoft provides the port driver and LSI Corporation provides the miniport
drivers, which are called LSI_SCSI.SYS, LSI_FC.SYS and LSI_SAS.SYS. These
drivers complete the path to the LSI controller or processor with an optional
U320 SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS BIOS.
These miniport drivers use the Microsoft StorPort port driver (rather than
the Microsoft ScsiPort driver in earlier versions of Windows). The StorPort
driver has architectural enhancements that provide performance improvements on
large server systems with many storage adapters. These miniport drivers are
designed to take advantage of these enhancements for improved performance.
.........................................................................
1.1 Features
The LSI_SCSI.SYS, LSI_FC.SYS and LSI_SAS.SYS miniport drivers support these
features:
o Supports 320 Mbytes/s parallel SCSI transfers (for LSI53C1020 and
LSI53C1030) (LSI_SCSI.SYS only)
o Supports 1GB, 2GB and 4GB Fibre Channel transfers (for LSIFC949X,
LSIFC949E, LSIFC929X, LSIFC919X, LSIFC929 and LSIFC919)
o Supports End-to-End Data Protection (EEDP) for LSIFC949X, LSIFC949E
o Supports 1.5GB and 3GB SAS expanders/devices and SATA devices
(LSISAS1064, LSISAS1068, LSISAS1064E, LSISAS1068E, LSISAS1078)
(LSI_SAS.SYS only)
o Supports PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-Express bus protocols
o Supports LSI MPT common software interface
o Supports multiple host adapters
o Supports multiple Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs)
o Supports Scatter-Gather
o Supports SCSI pass-through functionality
o Supports disk array configurations with no LUN 0
o Supports disk array configurations with non-contiguous LUNs
o Auto request sense
o Maximum block size support: 1 Mbyte (32-bit), 2 Mbyte (64-bit)
o Supports Microsoft WMI HBA API for Fibre Channel devices (LSI_FC.SYS only)

o LSISAS1078
.........................................................................
1.3 Description
The LSI_SCSI.SYS, LSI_FC.SYS and LSI_SAS.SYS drivers meet the Microsoft
specification for miniport drivers. These drivers allow connection of
parallel SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS devices including disk drives, CD-ROMs,
and tape drives for PCI and PCI-X based machines. To support a different
parallel SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS device type, the Windows Server 2003
architecture requires that a class driver for that type of device be present
(usually supplied by Microsoft, or possibly by the peripheral manufacturer).
No changes to the LSI drivers are required. The driver supports only Windows
Server 2003 and all subsequent Service Packs.
A Windows application passes SCSI commands directly to the parallel SCSI,
Fibre Channel or SAS Protocol devices by using the SCSI pass-through facility.
This facility allows applications to directly control and access devices by
filling in a data structure and calling into the port or class driver. Refer
to the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation for more details.

2.0 Installing the LSI_SCSI.SYS, LSI_FC.SYS and LSI_SAS.SYS Drivers
This procedure installs the LSI_SCSI.SYS, LSI_FC.SYS and LSI_SAS.SYS drivers
onto a new or existing Windows Server 2003 system. Depending upon the media
used to distribute LSI drivers (web or CD-ROM) and the type of adapter, you
will create a driver diskette.
Copy the files listed in this section to the root directory of a clean
diskette as shown below. Label this diskette "Windows Server 2003 Driver
Diskette". You will use this diskette during the installation process.
For LSI_SCSI:
txtsetup.oem
lsi_scsi.tag
lsi_scsi.inf
lsi_scsi.sys
p2k332.cat (for x86) or
p2k3ia64.cat (for IA64) or
p2k3am64.cat (for x64)
For LSI_FC:
txtsetup.oem
lsi_fc.tag
lsi_fc.inf
lsi_fc.sys
f2k332.cat (for x86) or
f2k3ia64.cat (for IA64) or
f2k3am64.cat (for x64)
For LSI_SAS:
txtsetup.oem
lsi_sas.tag
lsi_sas.inf
lsi_sas.sys
s2k332.cat (for x86) or
s2k3ia64.cat (for IA64) or
s2k3am64.cat (for x64)
For a driver upgrade the driver files can also be copied onto a hard drive,
CD or DVD, or a USB flash drive.
For the following driver installation sections, the designation LSI_xxx is used
to indicate the LSI_SCSI, LSI_FC or LSI_SAS driver, depending on which driver
is being installed.
............................................................................
2.1 New System Installation
This procedure installs the LSI_xxx.SYS driver onto a Windows Server 2003
system. Use this procedure when installing Windows Server 2003 onto an unused
drive. Windows Server 2003 automatically adds the driver to the registry and
copies the driver to the appropriate directory.
Note: Windows Server 2003 contains a SYMMPI.SYS driver that supports the
U320, 919 and 929 devices. When performing a fresh installation with a
device that is supported by the bundled SYMMPI.SYS driver, loading
of the LSI_xxx.SYS driver using the F6 key will have no effect and
the SYMMPI.SYS driver will be used. To use the LSI_xxx.SYS driver,
upgrade the driver after installation has completed as described
in Sectio
