For details, "Updating 3ware Drivers under VMware" on page 202. Downloading the Driver and Firmware You can download the latest drivers and firmware from the 3ware website, at http://www.3ware.com/support. Note: Information in this section applies to updating drivers and firmware for the 9690SA and 9650SE controllers. The 3ware website also allows you to download drivers for other 3ware controller models and associated release notes. For Windows, the firmware and driver can be installed from the Windows driver download, which contains 3wUpdate.exe. When you run the update utility, you can choose to update both the driver and the firmware, or only the driver. For Linux or FreeBSD, updating the driver and updating the firmware are done separately. You can download them individually from the website.
