DSEA Technical Note: #040: Updated HQ RIP Plug-In Installer
This Technical Note provides the instructions to install the HQ RIP device drivers separately
from the plug-ins.
The device plug-ins and device drivers for the HQ-PM, HQ-PC, and HQ-NT RIPs will be
installed separately for all devices used with the v5.1r2 HQ RIP. They also will be installed
separately for the PT-R8000 v5.1.1 when used with the v5.0 HQ RIP. The steps to install the
plug-in are the same as those provided in the installation guides; therefore, please refer to the
guides for installation instructions. After you install the plug-in, you must install the device
drivers. The steps to install the PCI FPIF driver and the QLogic SCSI driver are provided below.
NOTE: If you already have a QLogic SCSI driver installed on your system by
another application, do not reinstall the SCSI driver, as doing so can cause
serious system problems.
