Step 9 Observe the Windows installation process and respond to prompts in the wizard as required for your preferences and
company standards.
Step 10 When Windows prompts you with “Where do you want to install Windows,” install the drivers for embedded MegaRAID:
a) Click Load Driver. You are prompted by a Load Driver dialog box to select the driver to be installed.
b) Connect the USB thumb drive that you prepared in Step 3 to the target server.
c) On the Windows Load Driver dialog, click Browse.
d) Use the dialog box to browse to the location of the drivers folder on the USB thumb drive, and then click OK.
Windows loads the drivers from the folder and when finished, the driver is listed under the prompt, “Select the
driver to be installed.”
e) Click Next to install the drivers.

Linux Drivers
Dowloading the Driver IMG or ISO File
See Downloading the MegaSR Drivers, on page 107 for instructions on downloading the drivers. The Linux
driver is included in the form of dud-[driver version].img (or .iso), which is the boot image for the embedded
MegaRAID stack.
The LSI MegaSR drivers that Cisco provides for RHEL and SLES are for the original GA versions of those
distributions. The drivers do not support updates to those OS kernels.
Note
Preparing Physical Thumb Drive for Linux
This topic describes how to prepare physical Linux thumb drive from the driver image files.
This procedure requires a CD or DVD drive that you can use to burn the ISO image to disk; and a USB thumb
drive.
Alternatively, you can mount the dud.img file as a virtual floppy disk, as described in the installation procedures.
For RHEL and SLES, you can use a driver disk utility to create disk images from image files.
