TITLE: Driver diskette for HP Proliant Smart Array Controller (em64t) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (AMD64/EM64T)

VERSION: 2.4.64-7

LANGUAGE: English

CATEGORY: Driver Diskettes

DIVISION: N/A

OPERATING SYSTEM: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (AMD64/EM64T)

ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes

DESCRIPTION:

This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 to enable ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA, 6x and 5x 
Series controllers.

Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 installation time allows 
the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, 
rather than the default driver version contained in the 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 installation CD.

CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:

1)  Save the "cpq_cciss-2.4.64-7.rhel3.em64t.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"cpq_cciss-2.4.64-7.rhel3.em64t.dd" from this file into the same directory

2)  To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write
to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)

3)  First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:

	# dd if=cpq_cciss-2.4.64-7.rhel3.em64t.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-2.4.64-7.rhel3.em64t.dd) to an
output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  To make another diskette label that diskette,
and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.

INSTALLATION

To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3" Driver Diskette, 
boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 CD1 in 
your CD-ROM Drive.

A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following 
line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette:

# linux dd

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 will prompt for the ProLiant 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
