Chapter 2. Before installing an operating system

Before installing an operating system, do the following:
• Copy the driver for onboard SATA software Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) or an installed
RAID card from the ThinkServer
(USB) storage device. You also can download the driver from the Lenovo Web site. The most up-to-date
device drivers for various server models are always available on the Lenovo Web site at: http://www.
lenovo.com/drivers
• Set the optical drive that you want to use as the first startup device. Depending on the server model, an
external optical drive might be required.
Note: If you want to install an operating system in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode, set
the UEFI drive as the first startup device.
