Installing Windows Server 2016 on T320

Question

Dear community

I try to install Windows Server 2016 on my PowerEdge T320.

When I try to install WS2016 with LCC, I go on Deploy OS and the combo doesn't show me Windows Server 2016. The last Windows proposed is Windows Server2012R2.

If I try to install WS2016 by booting on a DVD, the installer starts. I click on Install and the wizard tells a me that a media driver is missing.

I don't know wiche driver is missing.

When this server was on WS2012, I cannot install a WM on WS2016 with the same error.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

As you can see below, Windows server 2016 is supported for the T320 server.
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/supportedos/poweredge-t320

You have to first update the OS driver package of the lifecycle controler then perform the install using the LCC.

drivers is available on the support page or with this direct link : https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=1HPN9&oscode=WS8R2&productcode=poweredge-t320

Applying also the IDRAC firmware and the MB bios before the driver pack could be a good idea : support drivers page of T320
