Installing Drivers on Linux

Follow the steps below to install the drivers for Linux.
1. Download the driver from the Supermicro CDR-NIC LAN driver CD or
ftp.supermicro.com/Networking_Drivers/CDR-NIC_1.62_for_Add-on_NIC_
Cards/Intel/LAN/PRO40GB/LINUX. Due to the continuous development of the
Linux kernel, the drivers are updated more often than the bundled releases.
The laterst driver can be found on http://downloadcenter.intel.com.
2. Choose the Intel driver package from LAN/PRO40GB/LINUX.
3. Copy the driver to the directory of your choice. For example:
/home/username/i40e
or
/usr/local/src/i40e
4. Untar/unzip archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar file:
tar zxf i40e-x.x.x.tar.gz
5. Change to the driver sic directory, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the
driver tar:
cd i40e-x.x.x/src/
make install
This will install the Linux driver to your system. For more driver installation informa-
