Driver Installation

The

Dell™ PowerEdge™ Expandable RAID Controller

(PERC) 5 family requires software drivers

to operate with the Microsoft

®

Windows

®

, Red Hat

®

Enterprise Linux

®

, and SUSE

®

Linux

operating systems.

This chapter contains the procedures for installing the drivers for the following operating systems.

•

Microsoft

®

Windows

®

2000 Server family

•

Windows Server

®

2003 (includes Standard, Enterprise, and Small Business Servers)

•

Windows Server 2003 DataCenter

•

Windows XP

•

Windows Vista™

•

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5

•

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

NOTE:

See the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com

to check operating system compatibility.

The two methods for installing a driver that are discussed in this chapter are:

•

During operating system installation. Use this method if you are performing a new installation of
the operating system and want to include the drivers.

•

Updating existing drivers. Use this method if the operating system and PERC 5 controller are
already installed and you want to update to the latest drivers.

Creating a Driver Diskette

Perform the following steps to create a driver diskette.

1

Browse to the download section for the system from the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com

.

2

Locate and download the latest PERC 5 controller driver to the system. The driver should be
labeled as packaged for a diskette on the Dell Support website.

3

Follow the instructions on the Dell Support website for extracting the driver to the diskette.
