3.0 Installation instructions for Windows Server 2008 R2

To install Windows Server 2008 R2 complete the following steps:

Insert the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive.

Turn on the System x server.

When you are prompted with the message "Press any key to boot from cd or dvd", press any key to start the server from the Windows Server 2008 R2 Setup DVD. The files are copied from the setup DVD. This process takes a few minutes.

In the Windows Server 2008 R2 window, make the following selections:

From the Language to install list, select English (or other language preference).

From the Time and currency format list, select English (United States) (or other time & currency preference).

From the Keyboard or input method list, select US (or other preference).

Click Next.

Click Install Now.

Select the version of Windows Server 2008 R2 you would like to install.

Click Next.

Scroll down and read the license agreement.

Select I accept the license terms and click Next.

Select Custom (advanced).

When Windows Server 2008 R2 Setup displays all hard disk storage that is available on the server, select one of the following options to choose or create a drive partition in which to install Windows Server 2008 R2:

Allow Setup to create a partition: To partition the entire hard disk as one primary partition, highlight Disk0 unallocated space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2008 R2, and click Next.

Create a partition: To create a partition, highlight Disk0 unallocated space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2008 R2, and click Drive options; then, click New. You are prompted to indicate how much available space to allocate from the non-partitioned drive. Type the amount of space (in MB), and click Apply; then, click Next.

Delete a partition:  Use this option to delete a previous partition prior to creating a partition using either method above.

Setup formats the selected partition and copies the applicable files to the drive partition. This process takes several minutes. When the installation is complete, the server restarts automatically.

After Windows Server 2008 R2 restarts, you are prompted to change the administrator password before you can log on.  After you log on as the administrator, a configuration wizard window starts. Use the wizard for naming and basic networking setup.

Use the Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Roles and Features functions to set up the server for your specific needs.

Use the product key supplied with Windows Server 2008 R2 to activate your installation.

4.0 Post-installation instructions: Updating device drivers

To make sure that the latest device drivers and firmware for the System x server are installed, follow the instructions in the README (.txt) file that is included with the device driver.

4.1 System x Website

To download the device driver and firmware packages and the installation instructions for your IBM System x3850 X5 with MAX 5 server, complete the following steps:

Click System x3850 X5 with MAX 5 and bookmark this site to check for periodic updates of device drivers and firmware files, such as uEFI, iMM, or Ethernet device firmware.

4.2 Note

It is required to apply the KB980598 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980598) into the operating system when the system has one Terabyte (1TB) or more of memory installed, and update with the latest BroadCom Ethernet device driver when system has 64 or more processors (cores). Also, it is good practice to ensure Flow Control is enabled under network adapters properties after upgrading network device driver.

If your system has greater than 128GB of memory and you plan to enable HyperV after installing Windows 2008 R2, you must first apply the Microsoft Hotfix located at:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979903/en-us

IBM recommends you review all Retain Tips related to this system and the Operating System you are installing. Retain Tips are found at http://www.ibm.com/support/us/en.  Review the "Problem Resolution" section for your specific machine type/model.
