Installation Guidelines of Operating System 

This manual includes the following operating systems: Windows 2008 Enterprise Server R2 sp1, 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux6 update 5. 

4.1 Windows 2008 Enterprise Server R2 sp1 (64 bit)

 

4.1.1 

Installation Preparation

 

 

Import onboard SAS driver or RAID card driver (server configuration including RAID card) to 

USB flash disk, which are required when installing Windows Server 2008. You can find them 

on accompanying Navigation Software CD. 

 

It’s recommended to export relevant drivers from Sugon Server Smart Navigation CD, which 

includes  SAS  or  RAID  card  drivers  of  mainstream  systems,  saving  much  time  on  searching 

drivers. 

4.1.2 

Installation Procedure

 

Step  1:  Startup;  put  the  disk  marked  with  "Microsoft  Windows  2008  Server"  into  CD-ROM  and 

startup from CD. 

Step 2: Select installation language, time and keyboard layout, and click "Next". 

Step 3: Click "Install now" to start the installation. 

Step  4:  Select  2008  server  version  to  be  installed  (this  manual  takes  Windows  Server  2008 

Enterprise as example), then click "Next". 

Step 5: Select "Custom" mode in the shown interface to start the installation. 

Step 6: You need to select "Load Driver" to load corresponding SAS or RAID card drivers, then 

hard disks can be identified and configured. 

Step 7: After configuration, click "Next"; the installation process begins. 

Step 8: The system will restart automatically during installation, please patiently wait for several 

quarters; user will be asked to configure password after installation. 

Note: 

Windows 2008 password should have English letters, numbers and symbols.

 

Step 10: Now, users can normally use Windows 2008 Server operating system. 

Note: 

Users may 

need to load drivers of some external cards by themselves. 

4.2 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Update 5 (64 bit)

 

4.2.1 

Installation Preparation

 

 

Use onboard SAS drivers or RAID card drivers (server configuration including RAID card) to 

make  the  corresponding driver  disks,  which  are  required  when installing Red  Hat Enterprise
