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/motherboard support CD or from the Internet.
A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows ®
