There is some additional information about the issue that you are having on the MSDN forums and after reading it there is a driver there that I think will work.<br />

I've got a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with a Perc 4e/Di. &nbsp;I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 but it won't except the Dell driver for the Perc card. &nbsp;The driver states it supports 2008 R2 and the card, and installs happily on Dell 1850s, although they have the Perc 4e/Si.<br />
<br />
Has anyone had any success installing 2008 R2 on a 2850?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
