Follow the network operating system (NOS) installation instructions provided in this document in sequential order unless these instructions advise you otherwise. Windows and messages might differ from those in this document. Throughout this document, the term select is used to denote the use of arrow keys, the tab key, or Alt + a letter combination to make a selection from a menu. The term click is used to denote the use of a mouse to make a selection.

You must have the following software and hardware for the installation:

• A licensed copy of Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 x64 Edition.
• For servers using SAS hard disk drives, a USB diskette drive and an LSI SAS device driver diskette. (To create this device driver diskette, see 3.1 Creating an LSI SAS device driver diskette.)
• Supported hard disk drives. Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for the ServerProven® list of supported options and part numbers for the server.
• If you are using the IBM ServeRAID™ options, you need the IBM ServeRAID 7.10b (or later) Support CD.

For more information, see the documentation that comes with your server.

You can download device drivers and files from the following sites:

• IBM U.S. Support Web site: http://www.ibm.com/support/
• For countries outside the U.S., start at http://www.ibm.com/
• For the ServeRAID device driver, go to Software and device drivers
• For IBM monitor specifications, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/monitors

To install Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, you must first create an LSI SAS or SATA device driver diskette. For SATA hard disk drives, OS uses its native driver.

1. From an Internet-connected server with a diskette drive, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support.
2. Under Product support, select System x.
3. Under Product family, select System x3200 from the list.
4. Locate and click the link for the SAS HBA Controller and LSI 1064 Drivers for Windows 2003 - Servers; then, click the executable file link.
5. When the Terms and Conditions window is displayed, FTP (Recommended for most users) is selected as the default. Click I agree.
6. In the File Download window, click Save.
7. Specify a destination directory where you want to save the files and click Save.
8. When the download is complete, click Close.

11. In the License Agreement window, click Accept.
12. In the Driver Update window, click Extract to folder, and either specify a different directory or use the default directory c:\package.
13. Click Next twice and then click Finish.
14. Navigate to the c:/package directory and open the i386 folder; then, copy all of the files that are in the folder to the floppy diskette.
15. Use the diskette to install Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition onto a server that has a built-in SAS controller.

To install Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, complete the following steps:

1. If using SAS hard disk drives, connect a USB diskette drive to the server.
2. Turn on the server and insert the Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Setup CD into the CD or DVD drive. When you are prompted with the message Press any key to boot from cd, press any key.
3. For SATA hard disk drives, skip to step 10. For SAS hard disk drives, continue to step 4.
4. When you are prompted to Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver, press F6. Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Setup copies the files from the setup CD. This process takes a few minutes.
5. When you are prompted to manually specify a controller, select S to specify additional devices.
6. When you are prompted for the manufacturer-supplied hardware support diskette, insert the LSI SAS device driver diskette, and press Enter.
7. When the device driver name is displayed, press Enter.
8. After Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Setup copies the files from the diskette, press Enter.
9. Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition then copies the files from the installation CD. This process takes several minutes.

    • Allow Setup to create a partition: To partition the entire hard disk as one primary partition, highlight non-partitioned space/Unpartitioned space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition and press Enter.
    • Create a partition: To create a partition, highlight Non-partitioned space for the hard disk drive on which you want to install Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition and press C. You are prompted to indicate how much available space to allocate from the non-partitioned drive. Type the amount of space (in MB) and press Enter.
    • Delete a partition.
13. When you are prompted to select a file system, select NTFS file system.

    Notes:

    • Setup formats the selected partition and copies the applicable files to the drive partition. This process takes several minutes.
