Installation Tips
NOTE. The driver of Integrated SAS hardware RAID is required for the SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 10 EM64T installation. Please install an external USB
floppy drive for applying driver during the OS installation.

Boot the system with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 EM64T CD #1.
3.
When you see the boot menu on the screen, select Installation. Then press

continue.

Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS hardware RAID driver
from the driver diskette.
