Installing a Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista,
or Windows XP Driver for a New RAID Controller
NOTE: PERC 5 and PERC 6 use the same driver and do not require separate driver
installations.
Perform the following steps to configure the driver for the RAID controller on
a system that already has Windows installed.
1 Turn off the system.
2 Install the new RAID controller in the system.
For detailed instructions on installing and cabling the RAID controller in
the system, see "Installing and Configuring Hardware" on page 41.

the drivers. Check the version of the driver and update if required.

my device and click Next.
