NOTE: If you connect the LSILogic MegaRAID SAS 8480E Disk Array Controller as a
data disk, clear the RAID Controller's configuration information before you perform the
Express Setup.
Re-installing to the hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk
You cannot re-install Windows Server 2003 if the current partition of the hard disk drive upgraded to Dynamic Disk
remains. If you want to keep the current partition, see Appendix E to re-install the system.
About the System Partition Size
The system partition size can be calculated using the following formula.
Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size
+ Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
= 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack1)
= 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 with Service Pack2)
= 5300MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 + ServicePack 2 CD-ROM)
= 5300MB (Windows Server 2003 + Service Pack 1
+ ServicePack 2 CD-ROM)
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump File Size = Mounted Memory Size + 12MB
Application Size = Required Size
IMPORTANT:
 The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug
information (memory dump). A paging file with an initial size large enough to store
the dump file in the boot drive is required.
The correct debug information might not be able to be collected due to a virtual
memory shortage if the paging file is insufficient, so set a size large enough for the
entire system.
 The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is 4095MB. If the
above paging file size exceeds 4095MB, specify 4095MB for the paging file size.
 The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2GB memory mounted is
'2048MB + 12MB'.
 If you wish to install any application program or the like, add the necessary space to
the partition to install these programs.
For example, if installed memory size is 512 MB, the minimum required partition size is:
2900 MB + (512 MB * 1.5) + (512 MB + 12 MB) = 4192 MB.
Dividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solve problem that it
cannot be reserved in one disk.
1. Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size".
2. See Appendix F and set that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) is to be written to a
separate disk.
(If the disk does not have enough free space to enable the file size to be written, then after installing the
system using the "Size required for installation + Paging file size," install an additional new disk.)
Installing the Service Pack
When installing Windows Server 2003 R2, it is not necessary to install the Service Pack 1.
