A.3.2

Updating to QLDIRECT from QLFILTER

The QLDIRECT driver replaces the QLogic QLFILTER driver. You must first

uninstall the QLFILTER driver before installing the QLDIRECT driver.

NOTE: Windows NT does not always remove driver files and Registry keys when

uninstalling a driver. You must manually remove the QLFILTER.SYS

file and associated Registry key to ensure that Windows NT does not load

the QLDIRECT.SYS and QLFILTER.SYS drivers.

Perform the following steps to update from the QLFILTER driver to the

QLDIRECT driver.

1. Manually delete the QLFILTER.SYS file from the following directory. For

example:

DEL C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\QLFILTER.SYS

2. Manually remove the QLFILTER key from the following Registry location:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

3. Insert the diskette that contains the QLDIRECT driver into an appropriate

drive.

4. Execute the SETUP.EXE installation program on the diskette and follow

the instructions on the screen.

5. Remove the diskette that contains the QLDIRECT driver.

6. Reboot your system to load the driver.
