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: Information in this section applies to updating drivers and firmware for the 9750 controllers. The LSI website also allows you to download drivers for other 3ware controller models and associated release notes.
 
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 3ware web site.
