System Firmware and Drivers
Table 1-5 lists the minimum supported system firmware and driver versions
(native and non-native) for supported RAID controllers. Native drivers are
included with the operating system; non-native drivers are not included with
the operating system.
See the Dell support website at support.dell.com to download the latest firmware and driver versions
for your operating system.
NOTE: The drivers and firmware are located on the Dell PowerEdge Service and
Diagnostic Utilities media, the Dell PowerEdge System Support media, and at the
Dell Support website at support.dell.com. These are pre-configured factory default
partition sizes for the operating system and are not related to the capacity of any RAID.
You can download non-native drivers and utilities from the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com/support/downloads or from the Dell PowerEdge
Service and Diagnostic Utilities media that shipped with your PowerEdge system.
