How to Download Server Software

The _x_x_x number in the package file names identifies the version of the package (for example, InstallPack_1_1_4.zip).

  1. Go to the software download site for your server:

  2. Choose one of the following download options:
    • If you are installing Windows from distribution media (CD/DVD or ISO image), download Windows.zip to an accessible location.

      Extract the following sub-package contained in Windows.zip:

      InstallPack_x_x_x.zip

      This is the program to install all server-specific device drivers and supplemental software after the initial installation of Windows.

    • If you are installing Windows from a Windows Deployment Server (WDS) (advanced installation), download Windows.zip.

      Extract the following sub-package contained in Windows.zip to the appropriate Windows image (WIM) folder on the WDS server as described in Incorporating Drivers Into the WIM Image:

      DriverPack_x_x_x.zip

  3. For experts only: Download the following:
    • Server-specific driver archive for Windows Server, English.

    • Tools folder for Windows Server 2008 R2 or for Windows Server 2012 (for experts only, supplemental software archive).

    • Drivers folders.

  4. Make sure that the driver packages are available, as needed, during the installation and post-installation process.
