are tested and qualified by Acer.
There are two ways you can get the drivers. You can either make diskettes
from EasyBUILD 7.1 build 400 (or later), or put it in the optical drive and search
the driver directly.

the onboard SATA RAID, integrated SAS SW RAID or integrated SAS hardware
RAID.
NOTE. You need an external USB floppy drive to load the driver during the OS
installation.
