Installation Tips
1.
Though Windows Server 2008 x64 can recognize the LSI MegaRAID SAS
8300XLP, we still replace the driver with the one in EasyBUILD. Please
copy MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP driver from the EasyBUILD 8.0 build 200 to a
floppy or USB flash first before the installation.
2.
Please boot the system form the Windows Server 2008 x64 DVD. Follow
the instructions to do the installation.
3.
When you see the “Where do you want to install Windows?” on the
screen, please insert the floppy diskette or USB flash with MegaRAID SAS
8300XLP driver and click on Load Driver.
4.
Click on Browser and select directory of the floppy or USB flash that
contains the driver.
5.
Click on OK. You will see the supported devices listed.
