You need an external USB floppy drive to load driver during the OS installation. Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. 0 Update2 cannot recognize the integrated SAS HW RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD 7. 1 build 400 first before the installation. Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS HW RAID driver from the driver diskette. At the Package Installation Defaults, select Customize software packages to be installed. At the Package Group Selection step, select Development Tools under Development. 8. 9. 10. 11. Gigabit Ethernet Driver Installation 1. You can find the Intel 82546EB driver in EasyBUILD 7. 1 build 400. Please refer to directory of the 82546EB driver in Driver Required section and copy the driver from the EasyBUILD 7. 1 build 400 to HDD first. # mount /media/cdrecorder # cp ­R /media/cdrecorder/Disk/R520/NIC/Intel/pro1000. lx/. /tmp 2. Change the directory to the driver source and install the driver # cd /tmp/src/ # make install # insmod e1000. ko 3. Run the kudzu utility, it will auto detect the Intel 82563EB network controller and help you to configure it. # kudzu 4. Restart the network service to bring up both of the network interfaces.

Load BIOS default setting 1. Power on the server to start the system POST (Power On Self Test) process. Press <F9> to load BIOS default setting and press <F10> save the configuration changes and exit setup. 2. Enable integrated SAS SW RAID function 1. In the BIOS Setup Utility, move cursor to <Advanced>. Move cursor to Configure SAS as SW RAID and press Enter to change the Options to [Enabled] Press <F10> save the configuration changes and exit setup. 2. 3. Enter the integrated SAS SW RAID Configuration Utility When you see the Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology II information shows on the screen during the POST (Power-On Self Test), press <Ctrl> + <E> to enter the Embedded RAID II Configuration Utility.
