ML 350 G3 OPERATING SYSTEMS deployment

[Louis Mudd]

I purchased an ML350 G3 and didn't realize till I received it that I'd need to set it up as a server. I've never done this before and don't need a full fledged server. Can I install Windows XP Pro or 2000 Pro and still recognize the Smart Array 641 controller drives? How do I go about that?

I got this mostly because of the ability for me to keep all my files on one machine so organization and backup would be easier. I'll have at most 4 other machines accessing this server in my very small photography business.

hi

if you want to test/install W2000

you can use smarstart CD that will detect 641
