Installation
As a Plug and Play device, the Escalade ATA RAID Controller may
be configured to be your system’s boot device. Or, you can use
another device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the
motherboard. Use your system’s Setup utility to set the boot order
according to how you install your operating system.
If you have a new drive configuration without an operating system
and want to install Linux on a drive managed by 3ware’s ATA
RAID controller, follow the instructions in:
Installing the ATA RAID controller while installing Red Hat
Linux
(page 124).
If you are installing the ATA RAID controller on a system that
already has the operating system installed on a unit connected to
another controller, follow the instructions in:
Installing the ATA RAID controller on systems that boot from a
different device
(page 127).
Note:
If you wish to upgrade to a newer 3ware Escalade
Linux driver, please refer to the latest Release Notes
published on our website at http://www.3ware.com.
