Chapter 7: 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.

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
