7.1 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 the
instructions on how to install the RAID controller drivers during OS installation.
7.1.1 Creating a RAID driver disk
The system does not include a oppy drive. You have to use a USB oppy drive when
creating a SATA RAID driver disk.
If you have created RAID sets with the LSI Software RAID conguration 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.
