Chapter 3: Driver installation

3.1

RAID driver installation

After creating the RAID sets for your server system, you are now ready to install

an operating system to the independent hard disk drive or bootable array. This part

provides instructions on how to install or update the RAID card drivers.

The RAID card driver might be included in the Linux OS installation CD, and

could be loaded automatically during OS installation. However, we recommend

using the RAID driver packaged in the RAID card support CD for better

reliability.

Loading FreeDOS FAT KERNEL GO!

Press any key to boot from CDROM...

3.1.1

Creating a RAID driver disk

You may have to use another system to create the RAID driver disk from the

RAID card support CD or from the Internet.

A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows

or Linux

operating system on a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set. You can

create a RAID driver disk in DOS (using the Makedisk application in the support

CD).
To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment:

1. Place the RAID card support CD in the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer, then enter the BIOS Setup.

3. Select the optical drive as the first boot priority to boot from the support CD.

Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

4. Restart the computer.
5. Press any key when prompted to boot from CD.

6. The Makedisk menu appears. Select

LSI 1078 SAS Driver,

and press

<Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
