Driver installation
The 12 Gbps SAS HBA controller requires software drivers to operate with the supported operating
systems.
This chapter contains the procedures for installing the drivers for the 12 Gbps SAS HBA controller.
NOTE: The drivers for 12 Gbps SAS HBA controller for VMware ESXi is packaged within the VMware
ESXi ISO image downloaded from Dell support site. For more information, see the VMware
documentation at dell.com/virtualizationsolutions.
Two methods for installing a driver discussed in this chapter are:
•
Installing a driver during operating system installation: Use the method if you are performing a new
installation of the operating system and want to include the drivers.
•
Updating existing drivers: Use the method if the operating system and the 12 Gbps SAS HBA
controller is already installed and you want to update to the latest drivers.
NOTE: It is recommended that you update existing operating system drivers after installation. Native
driver support is available for Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2008 R2, and so on.
