Updating The Linux Driver
NOTE: PERC H310/H710/H710P/H810, PERC H700/H800 cards and both the PERC 5 and PERC 6 family of controllers
use the same driver and do not require separate driver installations.
Use the procedures in this section to update the driver for Linux. To ensure that you have the current version of the
driver, download the updated Linux driver from dell.com/support.
NOTE: The driver update disk (DUD) images are created only for those operating system releases in which the
native (in-box) driver is insufficient for installation. In the event that an operating system is being installed with a
corresponding DUD image, follow the instructions below. If not, proceed with using the native device driver and
then skip to the topic Installing or Updating the RPM Driver Package With DKMS Support.
