You could run SUU from the OS:[URL] It's huge (+10GB), so it may not be the best way. You could download and install drivers one at a time. Start with the chipset driver, then install any drivers for devices with yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager, have "generic" drivers installed, and any other available drivers that are newer than the Windows native drivers - you'll probably need the video drivers and maybe networking drivers. You should also install OpenManage Server Administrator (Managed Node).
I'm new to this model server so I apologize if this is a simplistic question. My IT department gave me 4 Dell PowerEdge R720 servers with no O.S. on them and no other information or documentation. I have been able to get the base Windows 2008 R2 O.S. installed, but am struggling with adding the necessary Dell drivers or components. Is there an easy way to detect what I have and automatically install what I need?
