OS Deployment on PowerEdge T110 II
We just got a PowerEdge T110 II, I followed the instructions I found on the support documents and forums like: use LifeCycle, boot to OpenManage DVD,
Nothing worked
Actually, my server does not have LifeCycle, it has Unified Server Configurator instead. I tried using USC and was stuck at the point when it asks for source of the drivers, and the catalog location.
I extracted the drivers relevant to the OS I trying to install - win 2012 R2, I put it in a USB. Still could not bypass that step.
I appreciate any help:
First how to install LifeCycle?
How to bypass the step asking for the driver source and catalog location?
Finally, how to install OS?

The T110 II, as noted, does not have a LifeCycle Controller.
Skip the installation utilities and install directly from the OS media to install.

Yes, it works, I had to press F11 to go to the boot menu (When the option of pressing the F-keys was displayed during on the right hand side), then, I selected to boot from the DVD, the server os picked from there on.
I had a problem though: I created the DVD by extracting the image and copy/paste to the DVD.
After contacting Microsoft community, I was asked to create the DVD using an image creator, any free one will do the job.
This for anyone who encounters the same situation in the future.....thanks again.

I you are running Windows 8 or later, just right-click the ISO, and select "burn/copy disc image" ... you don't need special software.
