The hardware must be installed before you can configure the Escalade ATA RAID Controller. Red Hat Linux Installation page 62 SuSE Linux Installation page 68 Note: Check 3ware's web site (www.3ware.com) for the latest release notes and for instructions on how to upgrade your driver and firmware to the latest release. 1. 3ware ships compiled and tested drivers for Red Hat and SuSE Linux. Please refer to our website for the latest compiled drivers. The latest driver source is also bundled with the latest compiled driver on the website, and is in a subdirectory. 2. Red Hat and SuSE include 3ware drivers in their distributions. These drivers are often older than what is available on the 3ware website. 3. 3ware also releases drivers to open source at www.kernel.org. These drivers are the most recent version, however, these drivers are part of an ongoing evolution of the source code and may not be tested by 3ware for compatibility. If you are using a Linux distribution for which there is not a compiled driver available from 3ware, you can download the source and compile a new driver. Note: Check your current 3ware driver version number by typing the following command: cat /proc/scsi/3w-xxxx/0* * Represents controller number (You can also get the driver version from 3DM.) www.3ware.com 61
