The three methods for installing a driver that are discussed in this chapter are:
• During operating system installation
• After adding a new PERC H200 or 6Gbps SAS HBA controller on an
existing operating system

for the PERC H200 card. The driver is automatically installed. For driver updates,
see the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
NOTE:
Operating system installation on a RAID 1, RAID 0 or a RAID 10 virtual disk
is supported only when the virtual disk is in an optimal state.

section, check the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. If a newer version
