Hi-
I have been away from Intel servers for awhile. Decided I was tired of HP and Dell and I'd go direct again. I have this nice S3420GP server with a SSD and 2 x 2 TB drives. I get through the Server Deployment disk - and that's where I am stuck.
I am trying to install the OS on the SSD. I had a USB key in during the Server Deployment process and it added drivers to the USB key. I get to the point where I have to add a driver and it stops there. I've browsed to the USB Key and tested each of the drivers, I've put the server deployment disk and drfilled down to the drivers - and nothing seems to work.
What am I missing?
Jay

Did you set RAID mode to ESRT2 in BIOS? Try the latest driver here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18265 http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18265

Hi Edward-
Thanks for that - but we have already been down that road with multiple USB drives and a burned CD.
Any other ideas would be really helpful tonight...

Did you initialise the RAID array? I think you also have to set it as bootable. I had no trouble installing Server 2019 on mine after I had the settings correct. I found that I had to go back into the ESRT2 (Ctrl-E) and reset and start again after my first attempt failed. Also latest BIOS (54) would be advisable.
