The following hardware configurations require special procedures.
Reinstalling to a mirrored volume
Disable the mirroring and reset to the basic disk. After installation, enable the
mirroring again.
Use [Computer Management] – [Disk Management] to create, disable, or
remove the mirrored volume.
Peripheral devices such as RDX/MO
Remove an MO device before installing an OS. Some peripheral devices nee d
to be halted before installation. Refer to the manual provided with the peri pher a l
devices for how to set a device appropriate to installation.
DAT, LTO, and similar media
Do not set media that is unnecessary to installation during setup.
Reinstalling to hard disk drives that have been upgraded to dynamic disks
If the hard disk drive has been upgraded to a dynamic disk, the operating system
cannot be reinstalled to it with the existing partitions.
Set up the operating system with the OS standard installer.
Connecting to multiple hard disk drives (logical drives)
For details on installing operating systems to a system in which multiple logical
drives exist, refer to Chapter 1 (3.9 Applying Service Pack).

Setup when mass memory is installed
If mass memory is installed in your system, the large size of paging file is required at
installation. Thus, the partition size for storing debug information (dump file) may not be
secured.
If you fail to secure the dump file size, use OS standard installer for setup, and allocate the
required file space to multiple disks by performing the following steps.
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.
2. Specify another disk as destination to store the debug information (required dump file
size) by referring to Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems).
If the hard disk drive does not have enough space to write the debug information, set the
partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another
hard disk drive for the dump file.
Note
If the partition size for installing Windows is smaller than the recommended
size, expand the partition size or add another hard disk drive.

(2/4)
The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application
size
Full installations
Size required to install the OS = 15,600 MB
(
Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1)
= 8,400 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1)
= 8,000 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size 1.5
Dump file size = installed memory size + 300 MB
Application size = as required by the application
Server Core installations
Size required to install the OS = 11,100 MB
Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1)
(
= 3,700 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1)
= 3,500 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size 1.5
Dump file size = installed memory size + 300 MB
Application size = as required by the application
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation
is selected, the partition size is calculated as follows:
8,000 MB + (1,024 MB 1.5) + 1,024 MB + 300 MB + application size
= 10,860 MB + application size
The above mentioned partition size is the minimum partition size requir ed for
system installation.
Ensure that the partition size is sufficient for system operations.
The following partition sizes are recommended.
Full installations : 32,768 MB (32 GB) or more
Server Core installations : 10,240MB (10 GB) or more
*1 GB = 1,024 MB
20
Note
Express5800/R120d-1E, R120d-2E Installation Guide (Windows)
The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the Windows partition paging file
must be large enough to store dump files.
Make sure you set a sufficient paging file size. If the paging file is
insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage that may result in an
inability to collect correct debug information.
Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug information,
the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal memory + 300 MB".
When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of space
needed by the application to the partition.

Tips
When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot partition
of 100 MB.
For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable space
will be 40,960 MB – 100 MB = 40,860 MB.
Free space
System Partition (40,860 MB)
Boot Partition (100 MB)
The boot partition is not recognized from the operating system.
If using BitLocker, note the following.
Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server
running BitLocker.
To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with
BitLocker, delete the BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.
Microsoft releases software updates for BitLocker encryption. If using
BitLocker, it is important that you read through the information provided by
Microsoft. Also read through the checklist published by Microsoft.
For details, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975496/en-us.
Important
If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and
the content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be
referenced any more.
The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after the
following:
Replacement of motherboard
Initialization of trusted platform module (TPM)
Change of BIOS setting
If the OS installatio n media contains Service Pack 1, you nee d not apply the
service pack again.
You can install the Service Pack on the server. When the Service Pack is not
attached to your system, prepare it by yourself.

Setup with EXPRESSBUILDER
This section describes how to install Windows with EXPRESSBUILDER.
This feature automatically recognizes the RAID controller connected to the server and configures the RAID
system. Therefore the hardware installation of the server needs to be finished by following " User’s Guide ".
Important
Setup with EXPRESSBUILDE R may delete all data of the hard disk drive
depending on the settings. Pay attenti on to input parameters. You must
be especially careful when configuring the following:
RAID settings wizard
Partition Settings in the Windows Setup wizard
Backing up user data, as needed, is recommended.
Before starting setup, be sure to disconnect hard disk drives from the
RAID Controller that is not to be setup. Install those hard disk drives after
setup has completed. Conducting setup with hard disk drives being
connected with RAID Controller may cause existing data to be erased
unintentionally. It is recommended to make backup copy of user data
before starting setup.
Note
The Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) function is disabled on systems that have
been installed by using EXPRESSBUILDER.
The setting of SNP function may affect the system performance.
Contact your sales representative for details.
When using an onboard RAID controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID):
Do not support the creation of RAID10 by using the onboard RAID controller.
Refer to Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in “Maintenance Guide”
when creating RAID10.
Tips
Setup with EXPRESSBUILDER allows you to use a pre-specified parameter file
or save the parameters specified in setup as a parameter file on removable
media or Internal Flash Memory (if purchased optionally).
For details on creating a parameter file, refer to 8 Windows OS Parameter File.
