Compaq Network Storage Router N1200
cpqnsr_n1200.inf

============================================

These notes describe the installation procedures for the Compaq Network Storage Router null device driver and when the null driver is required. 


System Requirements:
-------------------------------
Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server with Support Pack 2
Minimum KGPSA-CB driver version 4-4.53a7 and 5-4.53a7.  Compaq recommends using the latest drivers avaliable.
Minimum FCA-2101 driver version 4-4.54a7 and 5-4.54a7.  Compaq recommends using the latest drivers avaliable.


When to use cpqnsr_n1200.inf:
--------------------------------
The Compaq Network Storage Router supports SCC mode Fibre Channel device maps, as well as indexed maps containing an FC controller LUN.  When controller LUNs are enabled (SCSI Array Controller device at FC LUN 0), the Windows 2000 Device Manager will discover the controller device and prompt the user for installation of a device driver.  Cpqnsr_n1200.inf installs a null device driver and creates a device entry under System Devices in Device Manager.  Note: a true device driver is not required for proper operation of the Network Storage Router.

Installation:
---------------
Either of the three options described below will correctly install the null device driver and populate the system registry with the necessary device information.

1.  When the Windows 2000 Hardware Discovery Wizard discovers the controller device and prompts for installation of a driver, browse to the location of cpqnsr_n1200.inf
 file (the inf file can be on a floppy disk or in a temporary directory on the local disk).
2.  Copy the cpqnsr_n1200.inf file to C:\WINNT\INF and restart the system.  On reboot, the Hardware Discovery Wizard will scan the INF directory for installation instructions and automatically install the device.
3.  From the Windows 2000 Device Manager, right-click on the Compaq Network Storage Router under the Unknown Device category and select Properties.  Select the driver      page, click Update Driver and browse to the cpqnsr_n1200.inf file.
