Installation Instructions
Custom Instructions for R99740.exe:
This is a self extracting utility and will extract its contents (Windows XP driver files) to a folder in the following location c:\Dell\Drivers\. You must copy the content to a floppy diskette. These drivers are only to be used at OS installation (operating setup time) time.
At the beginning of the operating system setup, press F6 to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.
1. When prompted, select 'S' to Specify Additional Device.
2. When prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in step 2 and press Enter.
3. At this point you should be presented with a selection for one of the following depending on you hardware version and configuration:
- Intel(R) 82801GR SATA RAID Controller - Intel(R) 82801GR SATA AHCI Controller - Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller - Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller
4. Highlight the selection that is appropriate for the hardware in your system and press Enter.
5. Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in the system until the next reboot as the software will need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup is copying files.
