Chapter 1 Installing Operating System
Installing Service Pack
If the OS installation media contains Service Pack 1, you need not apply the service pack
again.
You can install the Service Pack on the server. When the Service Pack is not attached to
your system, prepare it by yourself.
License authentication
License authentication might be required, depending on the installation of Windows.
For details, see Chapter 1 (
4.14 License Authentication)
.
Note
•
Activate within 30 days following installation.
•
A Virtual Product Key is used when installing in a virtual
environment. It is not used when directly installing an operating
system to a physical server.
When compressing system drive
Do not compress the root directory and the Windows directory.
Tips
The Windows Server 2008 R2 directory is labeled as "Windows".
If you compress the root directory and the Windows directory, operational stability cannot be
ensured because the Windows File Protection (WFP) may replace an unassigned driver with a
signed driver.
