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 the RAID controller drivers during OS

installation.

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

and could be loaded automatically during the OS installation. However, we

recommend you use the RAID driver packaged in the RAID card support CD for

a better reliability.

Creating a RAID driver disk

The system does not include a floppy drive. You have to use a USB floppy drive

when creating a SATA RAID driver disk.

When you use a SATA optical drive and PROMISE RAID, you cannot boot into

FreeDOS using this support CD. Either reset SATA Port1-4 in BIOS to [IDE]

and boot again or create the RAID driver in another computer.

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

or

Red Hat

Enterprise 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 DVD).
To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment

2. Restart the computer, and then enter the BIOS Setup.
3. Select the optical drive as the first boot priority to boot from the support DVD.

Save your changes, and then exit the BIOS Setup.
