Win2000 on HP Netserver Lp2000r

[Ruud Dekkers]

Hello,

After installing Windows 2000 advanced server on the HP netserver i see 2 unknown devices with the subscription "SDR Gem318 SCSI processor devices".
Does anyone know where i can find devicedrivers for this device?

According to this it should be from the Navigator CD that comes with the server:

SDR GEM318 SCSI Processor Device incorrectly identified as Other Device in Windows 2000

Issue: After the installation of Windows 2000, the Windows 2000 Device Manager will detect SDR GEM318 SCSI Processor Device as Other Device because Windows 2000 does not have the SAF-TE.INF file.

Fix: To solve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Create the ???HP SAF-TE.INF file diskette.??? (Created from HP Navigator CD-ROM). See the instructions for creating drivers diskettes earlier in this document.
2. Install Windows 2000 using the procedure given below.
3. After the installation, go to the Device Manager, click on Other Devices.
4. Right click on SDR GEM318 SCSI Processor Device.
5. Click on the Driver Tab then the Upgrade Driver button.
6. Click Next on the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard menu.
7. Select the ???Search suitable Driver for My Device??? then click Next.
8. Insert the ???HP SAF-TE.INF file Diskette??? created from HP Navigator CD-ROM in the floppy drive.
9. Check the ???Floppy Disk Driver??? option then click Next.
10. Windows 2000 will search the floppy diskette for the INF file and then install it.
11. After this process the SDR GEM318 SCSI Processor Device will disappear from the Other Devices list, and display under System Devices.

it easy if you have the 2 disketes created with navigator,you go to the unknown device, do upgrade driver and give the path to the 1?? diskete,or if you have the navigator cd,give the path search to the cd.
