Oracle provides a wizard to install server-specific device drivers and supplemental software for your server. You install these drivers using the wizard, or you can get them directly from the Windows directory on the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD ISO image and install them manually.
Windows Server 2008 R2 requires the following server-specific drivers:
AST2100.V.90
Chipset 9.1.1.1027
1GbE systems require the Intel network interface driver version 15.5.
10GbE systems require the Mellanox ConnectX–2 network interface driver version 1.3.0.
The Oracle Installation Package wizard can be started using one of the following methods:
By inserting the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD into a DVD drive mounted on the server. The DVD should autorun and display the Tools and Drivers main menu.
By running the InstallPack_x_x_x.exe executable file.
Note - Using a recently downloaded Tools and Drivers CD/DVD or InstallPack_ x _ x _ x .exe to update the drivers ensures that you update the server-specific drivers with the latest versions available.
