Installing the embedded SATA RAID driver
HP provides the SATA RAID feature through use of the HP Storage Manager. This feature enables RAID
functionality (RAID 0 or RAID 1) for the embedded SATA controller in the system.
Required hardware
Installing the Embedded SATA RAID driver requires a diskette drive or a CD-ROM drive.
In a Microsoft® Windows® OS environment, driver installation is supported only with a USB diskette
drive , LO100i Virtual Floppy, or Virtual Floppy with the embedded SATA RAID Windows® driver.
Some servers do not ship with these drives as standard hardware.

USB diskette and CD-ROM drives
For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient, unless
otherwise indicated in driver-specific documentation.
NOTE: Do not use a USB drive key in place of the diskette drive. The OS does not support
driver installation from a USB drive key.
NOTE: HP recommends the use of HP standard USB disk drives.
HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided
by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB
devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available
normally. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:
• POST
• RBSU
