Installing the Driver
Overview of the Driver Installation Process
The following process is recommended to install the driver:
1 Create a driver disk. See Creating a Driver Disk on page 3-2 for
details.
2 Identify the appropriate installation procedure for your
computer.
You need to know the operating system and whether you are
installing the driver while also installing the operating system,
or installing the driver onto a system that already has the
operating system installed.
3 Familiarize yourself with the supported RAID levels. You will
need to select a RAID level during driver installation. See
Appendix E for a summary of the various RAID levels.
Note: If you don’t like your initial RAID level selection, you
can change it later using Array Level Migration . See page
1-7 for RAID levels and the ICP Storage Manager online
Help for details.
4 Read and understand the entire installation procedure.
5 Proceed with the installation.
Creating a Driver Disk
Note:
If you are adding the controller to an existing Linux
system, you do not need to create a driver disk; skip this section.
Before installing the driver, create the driver disk:
1 Set your system BIOS so that your computer boots from the CD
drive.
2 Insert the controller installation CD and turn on the computer.
3 Respond to the on-screen instructions as necessary to get to the
Start Menu.
