6.1 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 instructions on how to install the RAID controller
drivers during OS installation.

6.1.1 Creating 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 oppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows® 2000
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).
To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment:
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 rst boot priority to boot from the sup-
port CD. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Press any key when prompted to boot from CD.
The Makedisk menu appears.
