3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Red Hat Linux Installation
Note:
Release 7.7 of the 3ware code set (including firmware,
driver, and 3DM) supports Red Hat versions 8.0 and 9.0
As a Plug and Play device, the Escalade ATA RAID Controller may be con-
figured 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 sys-
tem’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 62).
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 64).
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.
Installing the ATA RAID controller while installing Red
Hat Linux
Materials required:
■
3ware CD-ROM (You will be required to create a 3ware Linux Driver
Installation Diskette from the files located on the 3ware CD-ROM. Please
refer to the “Readme.txt” file on the 3ware CD-ROM for directions.)
■
Red Hat Linux installation CD-ROM and boot disk
Note:
We have tested systems where an IDE drive connected to the
motherboard interfered with using the Escalade ATA RAID Con-
troller as a boot device. Disconnecting the IDE drive while install-
ing Linux will eliminate this problem. After Linux is installed, the
drive can be reconnected.
