6.1Slipstreamed install for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition (32 & 64 bit)

Implication:

Guideline:

Method for performing Slipstreamed install for Windows 2003 Installation via CD-ROM drive. Both the CD-ROM and Floppy can not be simultaneously redirected on the MFSYS25 system.

The MFS500SI compute module will only support remote installation of the Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 SP2 slipstreamed version. Local installation can be performed by either concurrent CD/floppy installation or via slipstreamed installation CD.

For remote install the LSI SAS driver must be slipstreamed into the installation media as both CD-ROM and Floppy can’t be simultaneously redirected.
