PowerEdge R220 Raid Configuration+Windows Server 2008 r2 installation

Hello everyone!

I have this brand new Dell PowerEdge R220 Server and trying to install Windows Server 2008 r2 on it. When it comes to choice installation media it prompts me an error saying "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers. ".

Also, please guide me or give me a link where I could read about Raid configuration when pressing CTRL+R on start.

Grand mersi in advance.

Gabilakbarov,

The issue you are having is due to the raid controller driver isn't loaded so the controllers Virtual Disks aren't visable to the OS install. From the "Load Drivers" page browse to this driver - http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01969002M/1/SAS-RAID_Driver_H9W18_WN32_6.802.19.0_A05.EXE

I am assuming the controller you have is the H310, which is the driver above. If you have a different controller then let me know and I will get the proper driver for you.

The link you need for learning about the raid configuration is here. (page 41) - http://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/Common/poweredge-rc-h710_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdf


Let me know how it goes..

Configured the Virtual disk in the controller.

Boot to the OS media

At the page for selecting the location for the install, you will select LOAD DRIVERS on that page.

Have the driver on USB and browse to the location and select the driver.

The install should proceed.

For the onboard Ethernet controller or an add-in controller?

2008 32-bit or 64-bit?

I want to install Windows Server 2019 on a standard server model, where can I download the raid driver? How do I determine which raid controller I have? Hard drives are connected to the motherboard. Thanks
