under Microsoft Windows.


Install PERC 3/XX Red Hat Linux 7.2 driver
------------------------------------------

There are two ways of installing Red Hat 7.2 driver onto the
PERC 3 controller as a boot controller. One is using a
driver disk during OS installation and the second is using a
driver (megaraid) RPM to update driver after OS is
installed. The steps for both of these methods are provided
below. All the files needed for both methods are included in
the driver diskette created above.

For more detailed installation instructions of Red Hat 7.2,
please refer to the OS installation guide at:
http://www.dell.com/linux.


I. Installing driver during OS installation:
--------------------------------------------

1. Boot normally from the Redhat installation CD-Rom.

2. Type 'linux dd' on the boot prompt.

3. When the install prompts for a driver disk, insert the
driver diskette created above and press 'Enter'.

4. Complete the installation as directed by the install.


II. Update driver using RPMs after OS is installed
--------------------------------------------------

Type the following commands under a Linux command shell:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cd /mnt/floppy
./megarpmwrapper.sh

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the RPM driver.
