This section describes how to install the P420m/P320h support pack software in the fol-
lowing operating systems:

4. Update the unified binary image (UBI).
5. Reboot the system.
6. Verify the installation was successful.
Installing the Driver on a Windows System
Before installing the driver, review the following:
• Always use the .msi file for installing the device driver package unless you are instal-
ling the driver as part of the Windows installation process.
• If you have an older P32xx driver for Windows installed through Device Manager, you
must uninstall and remove the driver using Device Manager before installing the new
driver using the .msi file.
1. Power down the system.
2. Boot into Windows.
3. Locate the Windows Driver folder in the support pack software and double-click
the MicronPCIeSSDDriversx64.msi or MicronPCIeSSDDriversx86.msi file based
on your system architecture.
4. Review and accept the terms of the license agreement, and then click Install.
If you do not agree with the licensing terms, cancel the installation by clicking
Cancel.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
6. Click Finish when the installation is complete.
The drive is installed. It may be necessary to open the Windows Device Manager
and click the Scan for Hardware Changes button to see the drive and its driver.
7. Install the RSSDM software, as described in Installing RealSSD Manager
(page 17).
