Setup Guide

Deploying OS on Dell’s 13th generation PowerEdge
platforms using WinPE 3.0
As the drivers for USB3.0 are not available in WinPE 3.0, the OS deployment may fail if the BIOS config settings for USB 3.0 Setting and
Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB are enabled.
Solution: To boot to winPE3.x (32–bit and 64–bit) in BIOS boot mode on 13th generation PowerEdge servers, disable USB 3.0 Setting
and Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB.
