(or later) is required to support Windows Server
2008.
NOTE2. This Windows Server 2008 certification also applies to Standard Edition
and Web Server 2008.
NOTE3. EasyBUILD 8.0 build 200 (or later) can support Windows Server 2008.
The drivers required for the OS installation can be found on the EasyBUILD 7.1
build 200 (or later). We suggest that you use the drivers contained in the
EasyBUILD 7.1 build 200 (or later), as these drivers are tested and qualified by
Acer.
There are two ways you can get the drivers. You can either make diskettes
from EasyBUILD 7.1 build 200 (or later), or put it in the optical drive and search
the driver directly.
NOTE. In this section, we assume the OS is installed on the HDD connected to
the onboard SATA RAID, LSI 1068 SAS daughter card or LSI MegaRAID SAS
8300XLP.
