To create a driver install floppy diskette
1 Insert the 3ware CD into your Linux system. A GUI such as X windows is
required to load the 3ware menu.
To manually mount the CD, type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
To start autorun, type:
/mnt/autorun
2 When the 3ware Menu appears, click Driver Disk Images.
3 In the 3ware Driver Disk Images menu, click the button for the driver disk
you want to create.
A confirmation window opens.
4 Insert a blank diskette into a drive and click the Yes button to begin
copying the driver to the floppy diskette.
To copy the driver to a USB drive
1 Insert the 3ware CD into your system.
To manually mount the CD, type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
2 On the CD, navigate to packages/images and locate the appropriate driver.
3 Insert a USB drive into your computer.
4 Unzip (if .zip) or untar (if .tgz) the driver file to the USB drive.
Note: If using Winzip or another Windows utility to extract the Linux file,
use the .zip version instead of the .tgz version. Otherwise the files will not
be compatible with Linux.
Note: If you need to create a Linux driver diskette for a Linux distribution other that
what is available on the menu, search the LSI KnowledgeBase for keyword 14546
