- Prepare the corresponding DKMS and ISO file(OS image).
Ensure you have downloaded the DKMS package and an ISO image file compatible with your RAID model and the version of your Linux operating system.

Note: the OS image file DO NOT download "Minimal", which version would not including package inside.
- Create a new mounting point directory:
# mkdir -p /mnt/dvd
- Mount the ISO image file to the newly created directory:
# mount -o loop <iso_path> /mnt/dvd
Note: Replace <iso_path>
with the path to your ISO file.
- Execute the SupremeRAID pre-installer:
#bash graid-sr-pre-installer-1.5.0-*-x86_64.run --local-iso-mnt=/mnt/dvd/ --dkms=<dkms_path>
Note1: Please use the pre-installer version later 101(graid-sr-pre-installer-1.5.0-101-x86_64.run)

with the path to your DKMS package.
By following these steps, you can successfully setup the SupremeRAID driver needed environment without an external network connection. Note that the system may require a restart after the pre-installer finish the install to ensure those setting are correctly loaded.
