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 instructions on how to install the RAID controller drivers during OS installation.
6.1.1Creating a RAID driver disk
You may have to use another system to create the RAID driver disk from the system/motherboard support CD or from the Internet.
A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows® 2000/XP or Red Hat® Enterprise ver. 3.0/SuSE 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 CD).

1.Place the motherboard support CD in the optical drive.
2.Restart the computer, then enter the BIOS Setup.
3.Select the optical drive as the first boot priority to boot from the support CD.
Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.
4.Restart the computer.
5.Press any key when prompted to boot from CD.
