).
Installing a supported Microsoft® Windows® OS
1. Insert the OS CD and reboot the system.
2. When prompted, press the F6 key to install a third-party driver.
NOTE: Press F6 within 5 seconds to enable the system to recognize the controller. If the system
fails to recognize the controller, restart this procedure.
3. Insert the SATA RAID driver diskette created earlier. The system prompts the next action.
4. Press the S key to specify the driver from the diskette. Then, press the Enter key. The OS searches the
diskette for a suitable driver.

the server to access the BIOS utility.

available from the HP Business Support Center website
