Install the driver

1 After loading a number of files, you will be asked to insert your
driver disk. Insert the 3ware driver installation diskette for Red
Hat and press OK. For Red Hat 7.1 and later versions, the sys-
tem automatically reports:
Loading 3w-xxxx driver
2 Select the proper language and keyboard types for your locality.
3 If asked for what type of media, select Local CD-ROM since
you are installing from CD-ROM.
For Red Hat versions prior to 7.0:
4 When asked if you would like to specify a special device driver
select Add Device and press Return.
5 When asked what kind of device you would like to add select
SCSI.
6 Scroll down the list and select the 3ware Storage Switch.
7 Installing the driver will conclude with a message: "I have found
the following devices in your system" and should list the
Escalade Storage Switch. Unless you have other third party
devices to install in your system, select Done.
For Red Hat version 7.2:
Due to a Red Hat 7.2 installer bug, an older version of the 3ware
driver loads instead of the latest one from the driver disk. Complete
the installation, and then update the driver to get the installation
correct.
