Symptoms
After installing Microsoft Windows 2000 on the Intel(R) Server Board SE7500WV2 and Intel(R) Server Board SE7501WV2 (used in Sun Fire[TM] V60x/V65x servers), under the Device Manager utility, some devices installed, show up as Unknown.
Some drivers are not detected, or issue errors like:

   scsi esg-shv scsi hsbp n18 scsi processor device

        pci devices

       system interrupt controller

Resolution
First, it is very important to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version.

Internal Comments
It is mentioned on the http://www.sun.com site under V60x that you can use Windows 2000, but there is no link to drivers.

http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v60x/

http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v60x/

The specifications say:

    * Microsoft Windows 2000
(WHQL-certified) (customer-provided) or

    * Microsoft Windows Server 2003
(WHQL-certified) (customer-provided)

On the URL: http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v60x/downloads.html

There are no drivers provided for Microsoft Windows.

Customer thinks that Sun has to provide the driver because we
are the constructor of the architecture.

For Example for the 20z we provide the url :

"http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v20z/downloads.html"

v60x, v65x, windows 2000, drivers
