Installation Tips
1.
Though Windows Server can recognize the onboard SATA RAID, we still
replace the driver with the one in EasyBUILD. Please make the driver
diskette from the EasyBUILD 8.0 build 200 first before the installation.
2.
Please boot the system form the Windows Server 2008 x64 CD/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 driver diskette and click on Load Driver.
4.
Click on OK. You will see the NVIDIA nForce RAID Controller
(A:\nvrd64.inf), NVIDIA nForce RAID Device (A:\nvrd64.inf) and NVIDIA
nForce Serial ATA Controller (A:\nvrd64.inf) listed.
