configuration.
Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver of Integrated SAS hardware RAID 2 in the
Windows Server 2003 x64. You need an external USB floppy drive to load driver
during the OS installation.
1. As Windows Server 2003 x64 can’t recognize the integrated SAS hardware
RAID 2, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD first
before the installation.
2. Press F6 at the beginning of installation for providing the driver diskette
for the integrated SAS hardware RAID 2.
3. Select “Intel(R) SAS RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 for x64)” as target
driver
4. After loading the RAID driver from diskette, follow the normal procedure
to finish the installation.
Chipset Driver Installation
1. After the installation completes, you would see the following devices
with yellow mark in Device Manager.
