Driver Installation Under SUSE Linux
Materials required
• LSI 3ware CD
• Floppy diskette or USB drive, if you need to make a driver install disk
• SUSE Linux Installation disk (Not required if SUSE Linux is already
installed on another drive.)
Creating a SUSE Linux Driver Disk
If you are installing SUSE Linux on a new drive or unit managed by the
3ware RAID controller, you will need to install the 3ware RAID controller
driver at the same time as the operating system.
You can load the driver directly from the 3ware CD, or from a floppy diskette
or USB drive on which you have installed the driver.
