The RAID controller and each hard disk (HDD) has a cache of its own. You can individually enable or disable write-caching on each HDD and/or each RAID array (as configured by the RAID controller) to suit your data-integrity (or performance) requirements.
Option A - Best Data Integrity (but poorer performance)
For maintaining absolute data integrity, consider turning all write caching OFF. Write performance will be degraded - you may want to run some tests to see how much of a performance hit there will be on your main applications on the server.
Option B - Best Performance (with some data integrity risk)
If the server is protected by a UPS and the environment generally has a stable and reliable power source, you may consider turning both the Array and HDD write-caching ON. (Note: HDD write cache is generally on by default)
Assuming the server will always receive AC power your data is generally quite safe. One of the most probable scenarios where you may have data corruption in this case is when the power supply in the server fails. Any data currently stored in the controller or disk caches may be lost if there is data waiting to be written / committed to the disks.
Option C - Best Data Integrity (but better performance)
If the server is protected by a UPS and the controller is protected by a battery or cache protection module, please ensure you turn OFF the write caching on the physical disks.
This is because all caching should be performed by the "power loss protected" RAID controller; the disks do not have a backup power source to safely write all data permanently when there is a power cut.
NOTE: one possible exception to the above rules is when your disks have their own power loss protection to protect any data sitting in their cache. As this is difficult to confirm in practice our recommendations above still stand.
Terminology under Adaptec Storage Manager:
Write-through = Write caching is OFF
Write-back = Write caching is ON

Updated: November 12, 2009
Special notes are highlighted.
Applies To: Windows SBS 2008
Follow the steps in this section only if you are installing
Windows SBS 2008 from the DVD. If your computer came with Windows
SBS 2008 preinstalled on it, follow the steps in the Windows
SBS 2008 is preinstalled on my computer section earlier in this
document.
When default values that are typical for a small business are
provided during the installation, it is recommended that you accept
these values.
 Important
|
|
Before you install Windows SBS 2008 on a pre-existing computer,
Microsoft recommends that you fully format and then repartition the hard
disk drives of the pre-existing computer. By formatting and
repartitioning the hard disk drives, you remove the possibility that
hidden partitions remain on the drives.
|
Step 1: Install the operating system
Windows SBS 2008 first installs the operating system, and then
you provide information about your organization that is used to
configure the operating system and to finish the installation.
|
Important
|
|
After the operating system is installed, do not customize your
server until you finish "Step 2: Configure the Windows SBS 2008
operating system."
|
Estimated completion time: Approximately
30 minutes. (Estimated completion times throughout this procedure are
based on minimum hardware requirements.)
To install the operating system
-
Connect your computer to your network with a network
cable.
|
Important
|
|
Installation may fail if you disconnect your computer from
the network.
|
-
Turn on your computer, and then insert the Windows
SBS 2008 DVD into the DVD drive.
If you are performing an unattended installation,
connect the removable media (such as a floppy disk or a USB flash drive)
that contains your answer files. Depending on the contents of your
answer files, you may not see some or any of the following installation
screens.
-
Restart your computer. When the message “Press any key
to boot from CD or DVD” appears, press any key.
 Note
|
|
If your computer does not start from the DVD, ensure that
the CD-ROM drive is listed first in the BIOS boot sequence. For more
information, see the documentation from the computer manufacturer.
|
-
Select the Language that you want to install, Time and
currency format, and Keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
-
Click Install now.
-
Type your product key in the text box, and then click Next.
-
Read the license terms. If you accept them, select the I
accept the license terms check box, and then click Next.
|
Note
|
|
If you do not choose to accept the license terms, the
installation does not continue.
|
-
Click Custom (advanced) to select
where you want to install the Windows operating system.
-
Create a partition (if necessary), and then select the
partition where you want to install the Windows operating system.
-
If a hard disk is not listed (for example, a Serial
Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk), you must load device
drivers. Obtain the device driver from the manufacturer and save it to
removable media (such as a floppy disk or a USB flash drive). Attach the
removable media to your computer, and then click Load Driver.
After the driver is loaded and the hard disk is listed, complete either
c. or d. in this step.
 Tip
|
|
If you decide that you do not need to load any device
drivers to access your hard disk, on the Select the driver to be
installed page, click Back to return to the Where
do you want to install Windows page.
|
-
If you are installing Windows SBS 2008 on a computer that
is running a Windows operating system that does not support an upgrade,
it is recommended that you delete the system partition, and then
re-create new partitions. When you delete a partition, any existing data
on the partition is permanently lost.
To delete a partition, select the partition, click Drive
options (advanced), and then click Delete.
After you delete the system partition, create a partition by using the
instructions in either c. or d. in
this step.
| Note
|
|
After you click Drive options, you will
not see it again. In that case, just skip that part of the step which
refers to Drive Options.
|
-
To create a partition from an unpartitioned space, click
the hard disk that you want to partition, click Drive options,
click New, and then in the Partition size
text box, type the partition size you want to create. For example, if
you use the recommended partition size of 60 gigabytes (GB), type 61440,
and then click Apply. After the partition is created,
click Next. The partition is formatted before the
installation continues.
-
To create a partition that uses all of the unpartitioned
space, click the hard disk drive that you want to partition, click Drive
Options, click New, and then click Apply
to accept the default partition size. After the partition is created,
click Next. The partition is formatted before the
installation continues.
| Important
|
|
You cannot change the partition where you install the
operating system after you finish this step. You must reinstall Windows
SBS 2008 if you want to change the partition.
For more information, see the “Disk Management” section in
“Planning Your Windows Small Business Server 2008 Network” at the Microsoft
Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104282).
|
During the installation, temporary files are copied to an
installation folder on your computer, which takes about 15 minutes.
After the Windows SBS 2008 operating system is installed, your computer
restarts. Now, you are ready to configure the Windows SBS 2008 operating
system.
Step 2: Configure the Windows SBS 2008
operating system
During this phase of the installation, you are prompted to
answer a few questions about your organization. This information is used
to configure the operating system. Use the information that you
documented in the Windows SBS 2008 Installation Worksheet to help you
answer these questions.
|
Important
|
|
Before beginning this step, ensure that the local network
adapter is connected to a router or a switch that is turned on and
functioning properly.
|
Estimated completion time: Approximately
30 minutes
To configure Windows SBS 2008
-
Read the information on the Continue
installation page, and then click Next.

information about your organization, and then click Next.
This information is stored and used to configure your server tools so
that you do not have to supply the same information multiple times.
-
On the Personalize your server and your network
page, type the name of your server in the Server Name
text box. The server name must be a unique name on your network, and you
cannot change the name after the installation finishes.
Type the name of your internal domain in the Internal
Domain Name text box. A domain enables you to manage access to
resources on your network (for example, user accounts, client
computers, shared folders, or printers). Default settings are provided
for your internal domain. This separates your local (internal) network
from the Internet (external) network.
|
Note
|
|
You cannot change the server name or the internal domain
name after you finish this step.
|
-
Click Next.
-
On the Add a network administrator account
page, type the information for a new administrator account.
 Caution
|
|
Do not name the network administrator account either
“Administrator” or “Network Administrator.” These account names are
reserved for use by the system.
|
|
Important
|
|
The new administrator account is not used until after the
installation completes and you log on to your server for the first time.
Until that time, you use the built-in administrator account with a
blank password. You can also use the built-in administrator account to
unlock the desktop if it becomes locked during a long installation. The
built-in administrator account is disabled after the final server
restart.
Write down your administrator account password and store it
in a safe place. You will use this password if you ever need to restore
your directory services by using Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM).
For information about how to synchronize the DSRM password with your
network administrator account, see the topic “Synchronize
the DSRM Password with Windows Small Business Server 2008 Network
Administrator Password”
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169595).
|
-
Click Next. A settings summary page
appears. Click Back if you want to change any of these
settings; otherwise, click Next
-
