The M5210 RAID card requires a driver to both install and function correctly in older Windows
(2008 and 2012) and Linux (RHEL 6.4, 6.5, SLES 1 and 1 SP1) operating systems. The driver
.inf files for Windows and RPM and DUD files are included on the x3850 X6 driver download
site.
If installing Windows 2012+, it is required to install the OS in UEFI mode. Failure to perform a
UEFI mode install results in the OS installer aborting prior to getting to the graphical portion of
the install. A UEFI mode install is required since the X6 includes the hardware for
implementing Secure Boot.
Requirements: A UEFI install requires the OS to be installed on a GPT disk and places an
entry in the Boot Order pointing back to the UEFI full path boot path of the .EFI loader.
