The Lifecycle Controller (F10 at startup) is the best option for OS installation without having pre-configured RAID. At the LCC home screen, select OS Deployment on the left and you'll be prompted to configure the RAID before proceeding to the OS install. All necessary drivers are pre-installed when using this method. The only disk you'll need is the OS disk.
Dear All, First of all thank you reading this, we just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server for our (SMB) company with the standard specs. Intel Xeon E5-v2 Processor 2 x 4GB Memory 2 x 2TB HDD (Hot Plug In) Dual Power Supply (495W Each / Hot Plug In) PERC h310 Integrated RAID Controller. Now the question is I want to setup my new server with RAID 1 & want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 on it. I've done R&D from Dell Support Site and some other websites too, now getting more confused to where to start :emotion-42: I didn't even turn on the server yet :emotion-10: Could anyone please tell me Step by Step Setup guide so I can configure my RAID 1 and then install the Windows Server 2008 R2 on it? As I've seen/searched here on community pages seen the same question asked by many but couldn't find Step by Step guide. Thank you!  P.S.: If i forgot to mention anything regarding my query please do let me know so I can provide the remaining info (if any)
