• Connecting MO devices
Installing Windows while an MO device is connected can result in installation failure.
Remove the MO device, and then start installation from the beginning.

• DAT, LTO, and similar media
Do not set media that is unnecessary to installation during setup.

• Setup when mass memory is installed
If mass memory is installed in your system, the large size of paging file is required at
installation. Thus, the partition size for storing debug information (dump file) may not be
secured.
If you fail to secure the dump file size, use OS standard installer for setup, and allocate the
required file space to multiple disks by performing the following steps.
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.
2. Specify another disk as destination to
store the debug information (required dump file
size) by referring to Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems).
If the hard disk drive does not have enough space to write the debug information, set the
partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another hard
disk drive for the dump file.
Note
If the partition size for installing Windows is smaller than the recommended
size, expand the partition size or add another hard disk drive.

• Connecting to multiple hard disk drives (Logical Drives)
For details on installing operating systems to a system in which multiple Logical Drives

• Reinstallation to a dynamic disk:
When installing the OS on a hard disk drive with multiple partitions that was upgraded to a
dynamic drive and you wish to retain the existing partition configuration and data areas, note
the following:
Data area
(partition to be retained)

Service Pack
Before applying a Service Pack, make sure that Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition DISC 2
has been installed.
Use Starter Pack when you apply a Service Pack from the Service Pack 2 CD-ROM.
If you used OS installation media including Service Pack 2 for installation, you do not have to
install Service Pack 2 again.
