3ware Escalade Storage Switch User Guide
®
Red Hat Linux
Installation
As a Plug and Play device, the Escalade Storage Switch may be
configured to be your system's boot device. Or, you can use another
device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the mother-
board. Use your system's Setup utility to set the boot order accord-
ing to how you install your operating system.
If you have a new drive configuration without an operating system
and want to install Linux on a drive managed by 3ware's Storage
Switch, follow the instructions in:
Installing the storage switch while installing Red Hat Linux
(page 99).
If you are installing the storage switch on a system that already has
the operating system installed on a unit connected to another
switch, follow the instructions in:
Installing the storage switch on systems that boot from a differ-
ent device (page 102).
