HighPoint Software CD
Each retail box includes a copy of the HighPoint Products Software CD.
This CD can be used to generate driver diskettes, and install the HighPoint RAID Management Utility Suite
for a variety of operating systems.
Creating a driver diskette
Windows XP, 2003 and several distributions of Linux and FreeBSD require driver diskettes when
installing the operating system directly to a disk or array hosted by the Rocket RAID host adapter.
To create a driver floppy diskette:
1. Insert the CD into the system’s CD/DVD drive. The program should start automatically.
2. Insert a blank floppy diskette into the system’s floppy drive.
3. Click on “Create Driver Diskette”.
4. Click on the “Please Select a Product” drop-down button, and select the appropriate host adapter model
from the list.
5. Click on the “Please Select the Diskette you want to create” drop-down button, and select the desired
operating system from the list.
6. Click on the “OK” button to create the driver diskette.
