5.1 Installing the Driver in a New SuSE SLES Linux System
Note: If you use Service Pack (SP) 1 or SP 2, you need to load
the driver. If you use SP 3 RC 2, the MegaSAS driver is
already on the SuSE SLES Linux CD.
You can install the MegaRAID
®
device driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux
10.0 system from the SuSE SLES Linux CD. In addition, you can install
the MegaRAID device driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux 9.0 or 10.0
system from a floppy diskette.
5.1.1 Installing from CD
To install the driver in a new SuSE SLES Linux 10.0 system from the
SLES Linux installation CD, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Boot the server with the SLES SP CD-ROM Disk 1.
The system BIOS must support booting from a CD-ROM. BIOS
settings might require changes to allow CD-ROM booting. See
your system documentation.
Step 2. At the installation message, press ENTER.
The driver is installed from the CD.
