8.3.10 Checking Media
If you encounter any problems using the SUSE Linux Enterprise installation media,
you can check the CDs or DVDs with Software > Media Check. Media problems are
more likely to occur with media you burn yourself. To check that a SUSE Linux Enter-
prise CD or DVD is error-free, insert the medium into the drive and run this module.
Click Start for YaST to check the MD5 checksum of the medium. This may take several
minutes. If any errors are detected, you should not use this medium for installation.
8.4 Hardware
New hardware must first be installed or connected as directed by the vendor. Turn on
external devices and start the appropriate YaST module. Most devices are automatically
detected by YaST and the technical data is displayed. If the automatic detection fails,
YaST offers a list of devices (model, vendor, etc.) from which to select the suitable
device. Consult the documentation enclosed with your hardware for more information.
IMPORTANT: Model Designations
If your model is not included in the device list, try a model with a similar des-
ignation. However, in some cases the model must match exactly, because sim-
ilar designations do not always indicate compatibility.
