How to install Windows server 2012 R2 on T110 ii ?

Drivers are here:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t110-2/drivers

Most drivers must be downloaded and run individually within the OS.

If you want an "ISO", you need to use SMTD to install (you will boot to this ISO first):

You could also download SUU and run it within the OS after installing to update the drivers.

A third option would be to use Repository Manager to create a custom ISO for updating drivers and firmware.

 I try it tomorrow.

but i remember that installation fail on a demand of driver usb or mass stockage.

I already try with drivers found on this link.

how to know which driver exactly is needed to pass it ?

Hi,

I have the same problem that you. I can't install Windows 2012 server foundation on PowerEdge T110 II. 

I have the originals DVDs, can you send me all the process to install ?

I would be very grateful.

Best regards

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

What happens when you try to install? Are you getting an error?

Hi,

I select windows server 2012 (don't show option with 2012 foundation), but when asked to put the windows dvd, says that not found valid windows server 2012.

Thank you

Hello @camexavi,

Where are you doing this from? Are you in the Lifecycle Controller? (F11 on boot) and are you selecting the DVD as a source for Media installation? Was this the same Media that was given to you with the server?

Please, check this article and make sure you are following all previous steps: How to install the operating system on a Dell PowerEdge Server? (OS deployment) https://dell.to/3rGH1vT

As far as I remember, you don't need to select the Windows version when deploying the OS only the windows sever (if 2008, 2012 or R2). In fact, if I recall correctly you select this when you are already on Windows install process.

Let us know.
Regards.

Hello @camexavi,

Was this the same Media that was given to you with the server? Can you confirm this?

What happens if you try to install the OS directly from the DVD?

Regards.

Hi Diego,

I have try with Dell OSMT dvd and with F11.
After this, I select windows server 2012 (and I tried 2008) but when asked to insert windows DVD system, show message say dvd with 2012 ( or 2008) not valid.

What can I do?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes it's the media that was give with server.

If I try boot direct DVD windows, don't boot, like you can read on DVD operating system, is needed begin with the blue dvd.

Ah ok! Thanks for the picture. So you need to use the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD in order to deploy the OS.

 

https://dell.to/3cs81c7

 

 

"Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation (SMTD)"

This is the all-encompassing DVD, containing SBUU, OMSA, diagnostics, etc. ... AND the contents of the "OS Install Support Pack".

 

"Dell Windows OS install support pack"

 

This is a support/driver pack to augment SBUU when installing Servers 2008 or later.  It is built into SMTD, so is only necessary when used with the standalone SBUU.  It is not needed for Server 2003, as SBUU contains all that is needed.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Hello,

 

OMSA 8.1 is not a recommended version. Was there a reason you needed that specific version? I do have 8.5 linked below, but you had mentioned being on Server 2012 Foundations, and 9.1 appears to be the latest version we have available for that OS.

Hi Diego,

Unfortunately I can't download Dell OpenManage Software 8.1 from your link.

Can you help me please!
