Driver Installation Under SuSE Linux
Materials required
• 3ware software CD-ROM
• Floppy diskette, if you need to make a driver install diskette.
• SuSE Linux Installation CD-ROM/DVD (Not required if SuSE Linux is
already installed on another drive.)
Creating a SuSE Linux Driver Diskette
If you are installing Linux on the new drive or unit managed by the 3ware
RAID controller, you must create a 3ware driver install diskette. If Linux is
already installed on another device, you may install the 3ware kernel driver
module from the 3ware software CD-ROM.
