This section describes how to install the Windows Server 2008 SP2.
The same installation procedure also applies to Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows Server 2012
All screenshots appearing below are display examples whose contents vary depending on the system
configuration, etc.

4.1.1 Preparing for Windows Server 2008/2012 installation

Make settings for installation in advance.
For details on this advance setup, see 4.4.1 Advance setup in the PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series Installation
Manual (C122-E107EN).
For a multipath configuration, disconnect the secondary cable connected to the server.
Specifically, use a single path configuration (connection with only one FC cable) until you complete the
installation of the operating system and multipath driver.
If the server is in a multipath connection state, the operating system cannot be installed correctly. Manually
disconnect the secondary FC path beforehand (more specifically, disconnect the secondary cable of each
server).
Remarks
Disconnect all HDDs, including the built-in HDD, other than the HDD with the installation destination LUN.
You can confirm that all of them are disconnected, by starting the Boot Manager Front Page and selecting [Boot
Maintenance Manager] - [Boot Options] - [Change Legacy HDD Boot Priority].
For details on how to check the connected HDDs, see "How to check the connected HDDs."
