Chapter 2. Before installing an operating system
Before installing an operating system, do the following:
• Copy the driver for onboard SATA software Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) or an installed
RAID card from the ThinkServer
®
EasyStartup DVD that comes with your server to a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) storage device. You also can download the driver from the Lenovo Web site. The most up-to-date
device drivers for various server models are always available on the Lenovo Web site at: http://www.

• Set the optical drive that you want to use as the first startup device. Depending on the server model, an
external optical drive might be required.
Note: If you want to install an operating system in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode, set
the UEFI drive as the first startup device.
