Downloading Server-Specific Driver Packages
|
This chapter describes how to download the server-specific driver packages needed for Windows Server 2003 installation.
Note - If you have the Tools and Drivers CD (or Resource CD 705-1438-11 or later), you can skip this chapter and proceed to Chapter 4. You can use the CD for initial installation of the server-specific drivers.

The server-specific driver packages available for Windows Server 2003 installation are:
- FloppyPack.zip (contains LSI 1064 drivers and AMI virtual diskette drivers)
- InstallPack.exe (program to install all system-specific device drivers)
- DriverPack.zip (for experts only, system-specific driver archive for Windows Server 2003, English). Download this file if you want to perform a PXE installation as described in Chapter 9.
- OptPack.zip (for experts only, optional components archive). Download this file if you want to incorporate the optional components into a PXE installation.
Note - The full name of the driver packages incorporates a version identifier before the file extension, for example, FloppyPack_1_1_2.zip. This identifier is left out of the file names in this document for purposes of clarity.
