Introduction
This document describes the installation of Chelsio iSCSI driver for Microsoft Windows
Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 2008 R2 and Windows XP.
Hardware and Software Requirements
The Chelsio iSCSI driver supports the following architectures.
All x86 (i386) architectures supporting PCI*/PCI-X (133, 100, or 66 Mhz) and PCIE (x4, x8)
adapters.
AMD CPUs, 32-bit and 64-bit (x86/x86_64/amd64)
Intel CPUs, 32-bit and 64-bit (x86/x86_64)
*The Chelsio Ethernet adapter supports 3.3v PCI bus only. Running a 10Gb adapter on a PCI
(32-bit) bus is not recommended as throughput performance will be significantly reduced by
the limitations of PCI.
The Chelsio iSCSI driver is designed for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008,
Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7 but should run on Windows Operating System which
supports NDIS 5.1, such as Windows XP.
Scalable Networking Pack
Chelsio Recommends Installing Microsoft SNP (Scalable Networking Pack) which provides
support for Receive Side Scaling (RSS). Please refer to Knowledge Base Article KB912222
from Microsoft for the installation of SNP bits.
If SP2 has already been installed then there is no need install the above SNP pack as the SNP
pack is already included in SP2 update
