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 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
