The following are the detailed steps for installing Win2003 system on Dell DELL server. The process may be quite tedious. Users should not be discouraged and follow step by step. Server installation is different from system installation and requires careful settings to avoid errors.

Dell DELL server operating system installation method:

Before installation, please confirm that your server's optical drive is DVD.

First, put the Systems Management Tools and Documentation version 6.0 CD that comes with the machine into the server CD-ROM drive, and set the server to boot from the CD-ROM drive.

The boot CD will detect your server hardware. This will take about 5 minutes, please wait patiently.

Accept the agreement:

When the installation screen appears, click: "Server Operating System Installation"

Step 1: Please set the time zone to: Beijing, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Urumqi

Step 2: Choose the operating system you want to install

Step 3: Confirm that the raid has been prepared at the factory and choose to skip raid configuration.

Step 4: The size of the boot partition is the size of the C drive. Please set enough according to your own requirements.

Step 5: You can skip this setting. The network configuration can be configured after the system installation is completed (DELL reminds you to unplug the network cable when installing the operating system, and then plug in the network cable after the system patch is applied to prevent virus intrusion)

Step 6: This page can be left unchanged by default and continue to the next step.

ProductID is the installation series of the operating system you purchased.

Do not choose to join a domain unless you request your network environment to be a domain environment and you know your domain environment settings. Otherwise, please ask your company's IT department to set up the system after installing the system.

Step 7: After confirming the installation summary, Eject CD is selected, and then select Continue.

Note that there will be the following interface prompt (the screenshot is in Chinese), which means that the USC installation will create a temporary flash partition, occupying the drive letter C. Please confirm that the system is installed on the correct drive letter C. Regarding the partition drive letter, please Refer to Microsoft KB.

7. Click Finish to restart the machine.

8. Enter the windows installation interface: (you don’t need to press F6 to let it boot automatically)

9. Hard drive recognized

It is possible that drive letter C will be occupied by a temporary flash drive. Follow the steps below:

Create a new partition on the local boot hard disk, and the drive letter is automatically assigned to F or other drive letters:

Delete the newly created partition F: and see that the drive letter C: is released.

10. Create a new partition on the local boot hard disk and the drive letter C: will be automatically assigned.

If the drive letter C still cannot be released after doing this, create an F: drive, then do not format it, force restart, and re-self-test and assign the drive letter, and the drive letter will be assigned normally.

If forced restarting does not solve the problem, the only option is to initialize the virtual disk. (Note: All data is lost and cannot be recovered. This is only for new machines. The previous installation did not complete or exit normally. For machines in use, if there is data, please Contact an engineer)

10. Move the cursor to the unassigned partition and press C to create a partition: (The default is all capacity, it needs to be changed manually. It is recommended that the C drive is 20G)
