Windows Server 2008 builds on a solid foundation based on the strength and success of preceding

Windows server OSs while adding new functionality to the base OS. Designed to power the next

generation of network applications and web services, Windows Server 2008 will help administrators

manage and deliver a rich, more secure user experience that will help save time and reduce IT

infrastructure costs.

IMPORTANT

Windows Server 2008 uses DVD media and requires a server

configured with either a USB DVD-ROM or an IDE DVD-ROM for

local installations. For customers without IDE DVD-capable servers,

copy the Windows Server 2008 media to a network share.

Current iLO firmware contains support for virtual DVD media;

however, the installation is much slower than local installations.
