Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver for Integrated SAS hardware RAID in the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 EM64T Update3. You need an external USB floppy
drive for applying driver during the OS installation.
1.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 EM64T Update3 cannot recognize the
integrated SAS hardware RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from
the EasyBUILD 7.1 build 300 first before the installation.
