Important note about upgrading from prior releases
When upgrading the drivers in Microsoft Windows* from a prior release, it is best to completely deinstall the prior version before installing this version. Follow these steps to insure the old installation is completely removed and install the new drivers.

1.	Uninstall the old driver by opening "Device Manager” Expand the SCSI and RAID Controllers entry. Right click the “Intel® PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter" entry and select Uninstall. Follow the prompts to finish uninstalling the driver.

2.	The operating system will create copies of the INF files in the WINNT\inf directory for devices as they are installed. These copies will be named OEM#.INF where # is a number assigned by the OS. This step will find and remove old copies of the PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter INF files and corresponding PNF (pre-compiled version of the INF) file. 

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the WINNT\inf directory. Select “Search” on the Explorer toolbar. Select All Files and Folders. As search terms, enter *.inf as the file name and is10002k as the word or phrase in the file. Click Search. You should find one or more files named OEM#.INF in that directory. If the search finds these INF files, delete the files and the corresponding .PNF files. For example, if the search finds a file named OEM1.INF containing the string given above, rename this file and also the file OEM1.PNF in the same directory. 

3.	Delete the driver file (is10002k.sys or is1000xp.sys) from the \system32\drivers\ directory under the Windows install directory (usually Windows or Winnt). 

4.	Open Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs. Select the Intel IP Storage Configuration program and uninstall it.

5.	Close the Control Panel. 

6.	Upgrade the firmware on the adapter using the failsafe method. See the documentation included with this download for instructions. 

7.	Restart the system

8.	On reboot, the "found new device wizard" will pop up. Install the new drivers.

9.	Install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator service (service only, unless you need the MS iSCSI Initiator as well as the Intel initiator). See “Requirements” below for information on how to obtain the latest version of this software.

10.	From the CD or web download, find and execute the AUTORUN.EXE program. Select the “Install/Update Configuration Software” option and install the updated PROSet for IP Storage.

Requirements 
Windows*
This software release requires the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service in Windows* Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. To download the Microsoft iSCSI initiator service, go to www.microsoft.com and enter "iSCSI initiator" as the search term into the "Search Microsoft.com for" box. The search will return various records. Under the heading of Downloads, find the following line;

"Download details: Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator Version 1.xx" 

where 1.xx is the latest revision (currently 1.04a).

Download and install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator before installing this driver release. 

When installing the Microsoft iSCSI initiator, if you wish to use the Intel® PRO/1000 T IP Storage adapter initiator as the only initiator in the computer, select "install iSCSI service only". Do not select "Install Complete iSCSI Initiator" unless you are installing the Microsoft software iSCSI initiator as well as the Intel iSCSI initiator.

Windows* 2000
Windows 2000 requires SP3 as a minimum to use this product.

Known Issues
When installing the new PRO/1000 T IP Storage adapter initiator, there is a setting you must be aware of. This setting is in PROSet for IP Storage on the initiator properties "Timeouts" tab. Here you set the timeout value for retrying failed iSCSI commands. Be aware that, if you select "Retry Failed iSCSI commands forever" on a persistent target and that target is not online when the computer is booting, Windows will hang during the system start and not complete until the target becomes available.

See the user guide for details on setting the adapter and initiator properties.
