Windows Server 2008 R2 standard and SQL 2008 R2 standard. SBS 2011 is a pre-
requisite for installing Premium Add-on. For more information, see System
Requirements at microsoft.com/sbs.

Install the first server.
2
To install the second server, ensure that you select the required media and
follow one of the installation procedures explained in this document to
install the operating system using Dell USC,
Dell Systems Management
Tools and Documentation
media, or the operating system media.
NOTE: If you require specific instructions, see Installing Windows Server

Windows Small Business server 2011 standard Domain.
NOTE: You can find the product keys for SQL Server on the Product Key labels,
inside the DVD case.
Installing Windows Small Business Server 2011 17
Partitioning a Drive
Drive partitioning allows you to divide a physical hard drive into multiple
virtual hard drives. Each virtual hard drive is called a partition.
There are two types of partition schemes:
Master boot record scheme
GUID partition table scheme
Master Boot Record Scheme
Master boot record (MBR) scheme is a legacy partition scheme that can be
used by most operating systems. The total data storage space of a computer
hard drive is divided into at most four primary partitions.
GUID Partition Table Scheme
GUID partition table (GPT) scheme is a new standard for the layout of the
partition table on a physical hard drive. It is part of the extensible firmware
interface (EFI) standard, which is a replacement for the system BIOS.
Ta b le 1 provides information about the basic level of support provided by
each of these partition schemes.
Table 1. Support Level Provided by Partition Schemes
Support MBR Hard
Drive
GPT Hard
Drive
Legacy operating systems like DOS, Microsoft Windows
98 and so on
Yes No
Hard drive size of more than 2 TB No Yes
Data hard drive in x86 version of operating systems Yes Yes
Data hard drive in x64 version of operating systems Yes Yes
Boot hard drive in x86 version of operating systems Yes No
Boot hard drive in x64 version of operating systems Yes Yes
More than four primary partitions No Yes
Booting support through BIOS mode Yes No
Booting support through UEFI mode No Yes
18 Installing Windows Small Business Server 2011
Choosing Between Partition Schemes
The main considerations for choosing between partition schemes are:
•Hard drive size
Operating system version
Software tools used in the operating system
The MBR partition scheme is used across all the older versions of Microsoft
operating systems. MBR partitioning scheme supports a volume size smaller
than 2 TB. Use the GPT partition scheme for newer operating systems such as
Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Small Business
Server 2008, Windows Small Business Server 2011 and hard drive sizes larger
than 2 TB.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the GPT partition scheme as it is more
flexible, supports larger hard drive sizes, and has a number of features and
recovery mechanisms that are not available in the MBR partition scheme.
For more information on partitions and volumes, see partitions and volumes
on technet.microsoft.com. For more information on GPT, see the Windows
and GPT frequently asked questions on microsoft.com.
NOTE: GPT is supported only on 11G or newer platforms.
