Configuring Units
Installing Drivers and Making the Units Available For Use
The final steps in setting up your RAID arrays are to load the 3ware drivers and make the units available to your operating system.
Will the unit you have created be your system's boot device?
If so, you will install the driver for the controller as you install the operating system.
Is the OS already installed on a unit connected to another controller or to the motherboard?
If so, you will start the OS and then install the driver.
Details for both situations are described in the next sections of this guide, under Windows Installation (see page 53), Linux Installation (see page 65), and FreeBSD Installation (see page 87).
