Oct 29, 2009 - I've got a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with a Perc 4e/Di. I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 but it won't except the Dell driver for the Perc. Hi, I'm attempting to install Windows server 2008 R2 x64 on a poweredge 2970 server that has a perc 6/i raid controller. I configured the raid but when attempting to install W. [SOLVED] Can't find perc 6/i raid controller driver for 2008 R2 x64? Dell PowerEdge 2850 - PERC 4e/Di - Windows 2008 R2 Drivers I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 but it won't except the Dell driver for the Perc card. The driver states it supports 2008 R2 and the card, and installs happily on Dell 1850s, although they have the Perc 4e/Si.
I am trying to get a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit) onto a (somewhat dated) Dell PowerEdge 1800. I'm am using the bundled Adaptec CERC SATA1.5/6ch RAID controller, and have already created my arrays from my brand new HDDs.
When I get into the installer, it can't find my drives (I expected this much). So, I loaded the SATA drivers that I acquired from Dell's website onto a USB and popped it into the machine. From there, I can browse into the USB drive, and I can see my file structure. However, no drivers are visible from the browse, and the scan turns up nothing.
I unchecked the 'Hide drivers that are not compatible..' box and still nothing. I confirmed that the drivers I got are signed, and even tried extracting the contents of the driver packages into a separate folder on the USB and STILL nothing. I even went so far as to load a bunch of non-relevant drivers onto the USB, just to see if Windows would see them. No joy.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Did you created the RAID at all yet ? You need to create a cluster before attempting to install a system on your drives.
Once done, you can try to use this driver (unpack the .exe first)
This driver is for the 4e/DC. If you have an older LSI controller, you might want to try to load the Win 2k3 64bits driver related to your older controller. If you use an older controller you may need to update it's firmware using a light online system first.
If you have the Adaptec controler, you may want to try this driver instead (unpack the .exe first)

You could also try to boot on Dell's 'Systems Build and Update Utility' for your system (For PowerEdge 1800, use PowerEdge1800 specific disc , burn to disc or use hardware iso mounting)

I'm a server novice and have been given a Dell 2850 (PERC 4e/Di). It has 3 blank HDs that I think are configured as RAID 5. I am trying to install W2K8 R2 SP1 on it. It doesn't have a DVD reader so I created an install USB. This works fine until it's time to copy files to the HD. It can't see a HD. There is an option to browse for drivers at this stage. Any idea what drivers I need and where to download them?

I downloaded this driver RAID_DRVR_WIN_R227150.EXE but this failed with invalid signature. Thanks to dyasny for the link to LSI-LOGIC_MULTI-DEVICE_A00_R227150.exe.

The file is called
LSI-LOGIC_MULTI-DEVICE_A00_R227150.exe
BTW, with a DRAC, you can attach a DVD ISO image remotely and install from it, but that's irrelevant to the issue at hand

You can get drivers from Dell directly. If it's not supported, you'll have to dig around and try and find similar drivers from elsewhere.
Didn't they do something in R2 with SCSI drivers?
Have a Google around, I think it's a known thing
