Installing Drivers And Making The Units Available For Use - 3Ware 9500S-4LP Installation Manual

Configuring Units
Installing Drivers and Making the Units
Available For Use
The final steps in setting up your RAID arrays are to load the 3ware
drivers and make the units available to your operating system.
Will the unit you have created be your system's boot device?
If so, you will install the driver for the controller as you install
the operating system.
Is the OS already installed on a unit connected to another
controller or to the motherboard?
If so, you will start the OS and then install the driver.
Details for both situations are described in the next sections of this
guide, under Windows Installation (see page 53), Linux Installation
(see page 65), and FreeBSD Installation (see page 87).
