Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 & Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI
6. Installation Guidelines
6.1 Slipstreamed install required for Windows 2003
Enterprise Edition (32 & 64 bit)
Issue: Both the CD-ROM and Floppy can not be simultaneously redirected on the
MFSYS25 system.
Implication:
The MFS500SI compute module will only support the use/installation (local or
remote) of the Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 SP2 slipstreamed version.
Additionally, for remote install there is also a requirement to slipstream the LSI
SAS driver into the installation media as both CD-ROM and Floppy can’t be
simultaneously redirected.
Guideline: To create a merged Windows 2003 CD perform the following:
1. Download and install the freeware program nLite from
(http://www.nliteos.com/index.html)
2. Launch nLite
3. Select language desired and hit next
4. On the next screen browse to the location of the Windows 2003 CD
5. nLite will prompt for a location to copy the CD to for modification (C:\temp),
it’ll then copy the install CD to that folder
6. When the copy completes, hit next
7. Hit next on the presets screen
8. On the next screen, select “Integrate -> Drivers” and “Create -> Bootable
ISO”, hit Next.
9. Download and extract the 1.25.5 driver for the appropriate version of the OS
(32-bit or 64-bit) and extract to a known location
10. Hit the Insert tab in the bottom left (single driver), browse to the location with
the driver and select the “lsi_sas.inf”
11. Select “Textmode driver”, click on the description in the box, and hit OK
12. Hit Next to begin the process
13. When the process completes, hit next to bring up the Bootable ISO screen
14. Select the appropriate options for your system and hit “burn” to create the
CD
15. When finished, the CD is ready for remote installation with no requirement
for a driver floppy
Status: Intel has no plans to add support for concurrent Remote Floppy and Remote
CD/DVD.
