Enterprise Hardware RAID and Software RAID Technical Brief |
Hardware RAID is data protection and application acceleration technology delivered on PCI Express based
option cards with related firmware, drivers, utilities and management software. Enterprise hardware RAID
cards have onboard capabilities to perform parity generation and RAID recovery operations, as well as
data, memory and bus management. Software RAID, a subset of the features delivered in hardware RAID, is
usually delivered as part of an operating system and relies on system resources, processors, and memory. Version:Dec 2011 |

MR SAS Device Driver Installation User Guide User Guide |
This manual is the primary reference for the operating system drivers provided with the LSI MegaRAID devices. It describes the drivers for all supported operating systems and explains how to install them. The controller can run under MS-DOS or any DOS-compatible operating system using the standard AT BIOS INT 13h hard disk drive interface. To use the controller with other operating systems, you must install software drivers. Driver files for supported operating systems are available on the Universal Driver Suite CD that accompanied your MegaRAID controller. LSI updates the drivers frequently. To ensure you have the current version of this driver, download the driver from the LSI web site- http---www.lsi.com. Version:Rev. E. |
