Setup Limitation While Installing Dell Drivers on Servers
Without a
Diskette Drive Running Microsoft Windows
You may encounter issues while installing the operating system and
Dell mass storage device drivers using the F6 prompt on a server without
a physical diskette drive (A:\). The text mode portion of the Windows
Setup requires that additional mass storage drivers that are provided
through the F6 prompt be located on the A:\ (where A is the drive letter
for the diskette drive).
This is a limitation on any server that is not configured with a diskette
drive and occurs only while installing Windows 32-bit or 64-bit extended
operating systems. You do not have to replace any hardware.
To fix this issue, add a physical or virtual diskette drive on your server.
The following four options described in the sections below enable you to
install Dell drivers on your server:
• Using the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD
• Using the DRAC Diskette Image
• Using the Dell USBKeyPrepF6 Utility
• Adding Drivers to Windows Installation
Using the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD
Use the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD that
shipped along with your server to ensure that all the supported drivers for
the Windows operating system are installed.
