Configuring Onboard SATA RAID
Please refer to the Appendix A. for onboard SATA RAID configuration.
Installation Tips
1.
Though Windows Server 2008 can recognize the onboard SATA RAID, we
still replace the driver with the one in EasyBUILD. Please copy the
onboard SATA RAID 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 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 SAS daughter
board 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.
6.
Select “Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller (A:\iaStor.inf)” and click on
Next.
7.
After the driver is loaded and returned to “Where do you want to install
Windows?” page, click on Drive options (advanced) to create a partition
for installation.
8.
After the partition created, click on Next to continue the installation and
follow the instructions to finish the installation.
