Notes for operating system installation
• After creating a RAID disk volume in the option ROM, you can install the operating system.
• HP provides a download for the required F6 disk for Windows XP CD installation.
• Customer-created images MUST account for the RAID controller.
• Failure to install and enumerate the RAID driver after enabling the RAID controller (with or without cre-
ating a volume) will result in a Windows boot failure (blue screen) for inaccessible boot device.
WARNING: The PCI Device ID of the mass storage controller changes after changing IDE mode. Chang-
ing the BIOS from IDE mode to RAID mode is the equivalent of connecting the hard drives to a new add-
on RAID storage controller. The installed operating system on the hard drive is unaware of this new mass
storage controller. If the drivers are not available, enumerated, and PnP for this new controller, the operat-
ing system blue screens in Microsoft XP and Microsoft Vista.
Additional technical information will be provided in the future for customers who want to add RAID SW
image deployment capabilities.
