Downloading the Driver and Firmware
You can download the latest drivers and firmware from the LSI website, at http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads. You can also download the 3ware CD ISO file and create a CD.

| Note: For Linux, do not use the driver from the external Linux distribution if it is older than the currently supported driver. Instead, use the current driver from the 3ware CD or from the LSI 3ware web site.

To download the driver or firmware

1 | On the LSI website go to http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads.

2 | Select RAID Controllers as the Product Family.

3 | Select your Product from the drop-down list on the right.

4 | When the page has refreshed, locate the item you want to download and click the link to the file.

| Note: If using Winzip or another Windows utility to extract the Linux file, use the .zip version instead of the .tgz version. Otherwise the files will not be compatible with Linux.

5 | In the dialog box that appears, click Save to save the file to disk.

6 | Uncompress the file to extract the driver or firmware files to a local directory. (Note that the firmware will not fit on a floppy diskette.)

(Make note of the absolute path to the local directory.)
To download the 3ware CD
