RAID driver installation
After creating the RAID sets for your server system, you are now ready to install an
operating system to the independent hard disk drive or bootable array. This part provides the
instructions on how to install the RAID controller drivers during OS installation.
7.1.1
Creating a RAID driver disk
The system does not include a floppy drive. You have to use a USB floppy drive when
creating a SATA RAID driver disk.
If you have created RAID sets with the LSI Software RAID configuration utility, the boot
priority of the SATA optical disk drive has to be manually adjusted. Otherwise, the system
will not boot from the connected SATA ODD.
A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows
Linux operating system on a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set. You can create a
RAID driver disk in DOS (using the Makedisk application in the support DVD).
To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment
1.
Place the motherboard support DVD in the optical drive.
2.
Restart the computer, and then enter the BIOS Setup.

your changes, and then exit the BIOS Setup.
