Before you start Setup

Before you install Windows Server 2008, follow the steps in this section to prepare for the installation.

 

  • Check for application compatibility. For more details, see the Windows application compatibility information (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=29880).
  • Disconnect UPS devices. If you have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your destination computer, disconnect the serial cable before running Setup
  • Back up your servers. Your backup should include all data and configuration information that is necessary for the computer to function.
  • Disable your virus protection software. Virus protection software can interfere with installation.
  • Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. You should run this tool to test the random access memory (RAM) on your computer. To use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, follow the instructions in the Windows Memory Diagnostic Users Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=50362).
  • Provide mass storage drivers. If your manufacturer has supplied a separate driver file, save the file to a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or universal serial bus (USB) flash drive in either the root directory of the media or in one of the following folders: amd64 for x64-based computers, i386 for 32-bit computers, or ia64 for Itanium-based computers. To provide the driver during Setup, on the disk selection page, click Load Driver (or press F6). You can browse to locate the driver or have Setup search the media.
Be aware that Windows Firewall is on by default. Server applications that must receive unsolicited inbound connections will fail until you create inbound firewall rules to allow them. Check with your application vendor to determine which ports and protocols are necessary for the application to run correctly. For more information about Windows Firewall see (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=84639).
