Updating the Driver and Firmware
You can download the latest driver from the 3ware website, at www.3ware.com. For Linux and FreeBSD, updating the driver also updates the firmware. For Windows, you can update both driver and firmware, or only the driver.
Note: For Linux, do not use the driver from the external Linux distribution, as it will not include the firmware image, due to size limitations, and is older than the currently supported driver. Instead, use the driver from the 3ware CD or from the 3ware web site.To download the driver
- On the 3ware website (www.3ware.com), navigate to Service and Support > Software Downloads.
- Select the product and release desired.
- Select Driver as the item to download.
- Select the Operating System you are using.
- Click Next.
- When details about the download you requested appear, click the link for the driver you want to download.
- Read and agree to the license agreement that appears.
- Click Save to save the file to disk.
- Uncompress the file to extract the driver files to a diskette or to a local directory.
For more information on updating the drivers under different operating systems, see 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide.
To make a driver diskette
If you want to create a driver diskette, extract the driver files to a floppy in step 9 above. Refer to your OS user manual for more details.
