To Install the Linux Drivers

1. Log in to the system as superuser.

2. Insert the Tools and Drivers DVD into the DVD drive and type:

   # cd /mountpoint/drivers/linux/operating_system

   Where:

   mountpoint is the directory to which the DVD is mounted.

   operating_system is the type of Linux OS installed on the workstation.

   • If the directory does not exist, the DVD will not automount. You need to mount the DVD and change to the correct directory as shown in Step 3 and Step 4.

   • If you are able to access the operating_system directory, go to Step 5.

3. If the DVD does not automount, open a terminal window and mount the DVD by typing the following command:

   # mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mountpoint

   Where mountpoint is the appropriate mount point for the OS and optical drive type.

   For example:

   # mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvdrom

4. Change to the /mountpoint/drivers/linux/operating_system directory.

   Where:

   mountpoint is the directory to which the DVD is mounted.

   operating_system is the type of Linux OS installed on the workstation.

   For example:

   # cd /mnt/dvdrom/drivers/linux/red_hat

5. Run the installation script by typing the following command:

   # ./install.sh

   This script does not execute if the X server is running.

   • If the script exits and you receive an error message, go to Step 6.

   • If the script executes correctly, go to Step 7.

6. If the script exits and you receive an error message, perform the following procedure to disable the X server:

   1. Type the following at the system prompt:

      % init 3

   2. Log in as superuser.

   3. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5.

7. Eject the DVD after the driver installation is complete.

8. Reboot the workstation.
