4 Intel® RAID Drivers The drivers that Intel provides for Intel® RAID Controllers are not compatible with SCSI or SATA-only RAID controllers. The RAID driver files are available on the Resource CD that accompanies the RAID controllers. The driver files are also available at http://downloadcenter.intel.com. If you need to transfer the driver files to another system, you can copy them to a floppy disk or a USB key. Note: Intel updates software frequently and updated drivers may provide additional features. Check for new software at the Intel Web site: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/.
