System Deployment and Configuration Guide

1 Introduction

The Intel® Data Center Blocks for Cloud (Intel® DCB for Cloud) – Microsoft Windows Server* 2016 includes both
single node and multi-node server systems.

Figure 5. Intel® Server System MCB2208WAF5 – Single Node SATA SSD + NVMe SSD

Server systems within this product family were specifically created to offer Intel customers with pre-configured
systems that are Microsoft Windows Server* 2016 certified. Intel has extensively tested these systems to
ensure best operation and reliability with the Microsoft Windows operating environment.

To maintain Microsoft Windows Server 2016 certification, no changes can be made to the predefined system
configuration. Changing the pre-configured system configuration may invalidate the Microsoft Windows
Server 2016 certification performed by Microsoft and Intel.

Changes to the system that may impact Microsoft certification include the following:

 Updating the factory installed system software stack with revisions that are not Microsoft certified. The

system software stack includes: system BIOS, BMC Firmware and ME Firmware

1

 Adding or changing processors
 Adding or changing the system memory
 Adding or changing I/O devices such as add-in PCIe cards or modules
 Adding or changing non-matching (different manufacturer, and/or different model number) storage

devices such as Hard Drives and any type of SSDs, than those shipped in the original system
configuration

2

Notes:

1 – For its standard server boards and systems, Intel releases updates to the system software stack via
System Update Packages (SUP), which can be downloaded from the Intel web site. However, since the Intel®
DCB for Cloud server systems are Microsoft certified, the pre-installed system software stack should not
be changed unless updated to another system software stack that has passed Microsoft certification for
the specified system configuration. Intel customers of Intel® DCB for Cloud server systems should NOT
update the system software stack unless a downloaded SUP identifies that it is Microsoft certified for Intel®
DCB for Cloud server systems. This information will be communicated via the README file included with
every posted SUP for the given server product family.

2 – Adding or swapping like storage devices (Same Manufacturer and Part Number) as shipped in the
original system configuration is permitted and will not invalidate the Microsoft certification.

Hard Drives for Hybrid configurations are not included and must be purchased separately. Only certified hard
drives can be added to hybrid system configuration to maintain Microsoft certification. The following table
identifies certified hard drives that can be added to Hybrid system configurations and still maintain Microsoft
certification. Intel preinstalls certified boot and cache tier drives in all slots not identified in the table below.

2 Microsoft Windows Server* 2016 Installation Requirements

This section provides information necessary to appropriately install the Microsoft Windows Server 2016
operating environment on to your Intel® DCB for Cloud server system. To maintain and be compliant with the
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 certification, the installation steps should be followed as specified. Deviating
from the documented OS installation requirements may invalidate the Microsoft Windows Server 2016
certification performed by Microsoft and Intel.

1. Acquire the appropriate Software License from your Microsoft partner or authorized Microsoft

distributor/reseller

2. Attach the installation media which holds the Operating System Installation Image to the server system

3. Identify the required boot device. (See Note Below)

NOTE: In order to maintain Microsoft certification for any of the Intel® DCB for Cloud server systems, Microsoft
Windows Server 2016 must be installed to a specific storage device within the specific Intel® DCB for Cloud
server system configuration. The following table identifies the required boot device to install Microsoft
Windows Server 2016 to for each Intel® DCB for Cloud server system configuration.

Advisory Note: Available rack and cabinet mounting kits are not designed to support shipment of the server
system while installed in a rack. If you chose to do so, Intel advises you verify your shipping configuration with
appropriate shock and vibration testing before shipment. Intel does not perform shipping tests which cover
the complex combination of unique rack offerings and custom packaging options.

Caution: Exceeding the specified maximum weight limit of a given rail kit or misalignment of the server in the
rack may result in failure of the rack rails, causing damage to the system or personal injury. Using two people
or the use of a mechanical assist tool to install and align the server into the rack is highly recommended.
