It’s recommended to backup the original initrd file before you update the driver.

2. If the original driver is installed in the /lib/modules/`uname –r`/kernel/drivers/

scsi/ directory, and load it by the script file (e.g. /etc/init.d/hptdriver) during the

init process, please replace it with the new driver (rr2644.o or rr2644.ko)

6 - Installing RAID Management Software

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your

hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RR2644 controller. Installation of the manage-

ment software is optional but recommended.

Please refer to HighPoint RAID Management Software documents about more

information.

7 - Uninstalling

You can only uninstall the driver when your system is not booting from devices

attached to RR2644 controller. Just remove the lines you added to /etc/fstab, and

remove the file files you created in the /etc/init.d.
