Installing Server 2016 in Server room
Hi,
I have to install Server 2016 in server room.
There have been a Server 2013 in the machine; I have to wipe it out or install in it; get the space as many as possible; i was given the USB flash drive with ISO of Windows 2016.
Questions:
1) Am I able to do it by logging in to the machine; find the above USB drive there; double-click the above ISO file?
2) Or other things? Please specify
Thanks,
tjie

The system does not go beyond 2012 under Dell support terms. Nothing preventing you from using the 2012 drivers to see whether the 2016 will be able to boot and access the storage and then the other components...
if you can download the server update utility It is between 8 and 10Gb in size, you could use the dell repository manager to create the drivers needed only for your system, but this data stored on a USB stick, can then be used to update your server firmware,lifecycle, etc.
and attempt to install 16 on that.
Depending on your need, if this is a test/development to familiarize yourself with 16, use the 2012 you have as a hyper-v host onto which a guest 2016 ..

depending on what your setup sas-raid if you have a raid controller, sas non -raid if no raid controller (check the existing to see what your "scsi controller" in the device manager reflects..
Perc H200/H300, H700 etc. sas raid is what you would need.
perc 5 or 6 might be (perc 6 more likely than 5).
The network covers the network, you either have an intel or a broadcom (qlogic BCM) you can get both.all, expand only no need to install.
Or you could download the "Dell OS Driver Pack" search for video under all categories.
download the ISo and then mount ISO as though it is a CD .. and then copy off the data onto a USB. make sure if these are zipped to extract them. .....
this should include all the possible drivers for T310...
note Dell termed support for the T310 at windows 2012....

1) I do not need to backup anything related to existing server 2012
2) My question is only related to the installation (which i am still confused)
3) For the installation: Can i just login to the existing server 2012; find and double-click the ISO files of server 2016?
