Installation Tips

NOTE. There is no built-in driver for Integrated SAS hardware RAID in the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0. If you do not have the optional internal USB floppy
drive, you need an external USB floppy drive for applying driver during the OS
installation.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 cannot recognize the integrated SAS
1.
hardware RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD
first before the installation.
Type linux dd when the prompt boot: appears at the start.
2.
Please select the sda as the Driver Disk Source.
3.
Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS hardware RAID driver

from the driver diskette.
