Overview
The Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition operating system adds new search capabilities,
simplified setup and storage management, extensibility, and is specially tuned to provide optimal
storage server performance. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition is the latest Windows
Server 2003 release and provides significant enhancements in storage management scenarios, as well
as ease of installation.
Your Dell PowerEdge™ storage server is preconfigured with the operating system. Most of the setup
procedures are completed for you and do not require user intervention.
When your system boots for the first time, the Microsoft Mini-Setup Wizard begins. When
completed, your system automatically reboots. After the configuration is completed, you can access
the server locally or remotely.
See the Dell™ End User License Agreement for Microsoft
supported configurations and software functionality limitations.
The following sections provide information about completing the operating system installation
procedures.
Running Software RAID
If your system is preconfigured with software RAID 5, RAID autosyncronization runs in the
background and may require several hours to complete, depending on the array size. If you power
down your storage server during the autosynchronization procedure, the procedure will resume
after restart.
Additionally, the autosyncronization procedure does not affect user operations but may affect overall
system performance.
NOTE:
If your system is pre-configured with software RAID 5, the system performs a RAID synchronization to
optimize the array. The process runs in the background and may affect your overall system performance until
it completes. If the system is powered off before the process completes, RAID synchronization will begin again
when the system is powered up and continue until it completes.
