Installing the Driver in a

New SuSE SLES Linux System

NOTE: If you use Service Pack (SP) 1 or SP 2, you need to load the driver.
If you use SP 3 RC 2, the MegaSAS driver is already on the SuSE SLES Linux CD.

You can install the MegaRAID device driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux 10.0 or 11.0
system from the SuSE SLES Linux CD. In addition, you can install the MegaRAID device
driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux 9.0, 10.0, or 11.0 system from a floppy diskette.

Installing from CD

To install the driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux 10.0 or 11.0 system from the SLES Linux
installation CD, perform the following steps:

1. Boot the server with the SLES SP CD-ROM Disk 1.

The system BIOS must support booting from a CD-ROM. BIOS settings might require
changes to allow CD-ROM booting. See your system documentation.

2. At the installation message, press ENTER.

The driver is installed from the CD.
