Installation Tips
1.
Though Windows Server can recognize the onboard SATA RAID, we still
need to 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 CD/DVD. Follow
the instructions to do the installation.
