information, see “Updating the 3ware Driver Under Windows” on
page 181.
• Linux users can update the driver at the command line. For details see:

• Updating the 3ware Driver Under SUSE
Downloading the Driver and Firmware
You can download the latest drivers and firmware from the LSI website, at
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads. You can also download the
3ware CD ISO file and create a CD.
To download the driver or firmware
1 On the LSI website go to
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads.
2 Select
RAID Controllers as the Product Family.
3 Select your product from the drop-down list on the right.
4 When the page has refreshed, locate the item you want to download and
click the link to the file.
Depending on the item you selected, you may see either .zip (for
Windows) or .tgz (for Linux) files to download.
5 In the dialog box that appears, click Save to save the file to disk.
6 Uncompress the file to extract the driver or firmware files to a local
directory. (Note that the firmware will not fit on a floppy diskette.)
(Make note of the absolute path to the local directory.)
Note: Information in this section applies to updating drivers and firmware for the
9750 controllers. The LSI website also allows you to download drivers for other
3ware controller models and associated release notes.
Note: For Linux, do not use the driver from the external Linux distribution if it is
older than the currently supported driver. Instead, use the current driver from the
3ware CD or from the 3ware web site.
Note: If using Winzip or another Windows utility to extract the Linux
file, use the .zip version instead of the .tgz version. Otherwise the files
will not be compatible with Linux.
