In this video, I'm going to show you 4 ways to install an OS boot drive. There was actually a 5th option I was going to demonstrate, but unfortunately I could never get that to work, so I won't count that as an option here. The 5th option was going to be using a Dell vFlash SD card in the iDRAC 6 vflash slot. Unfortunately, every time I tried this, it would kill the vFlash SD card.

The 4-way boot drive options are:

1:01 - the LSI storage controller
2:05 - the internal USB
3:00 - the internal SD Card Reader
5:20 - using SATA SSD in optical bay
10:44 - the 5th option that didn't work; iDRAC6 vFlash
14:35 - looking at all boot options in the BIOS setup
18:46 - Booting off SATA SSD
21:44 - Booting off the internal USB
25:17 - Booting off internal SD Card Reader

If you'd like to get the H200 in this video that is pre-flashed to LSI IT mode HBA firmware, and set correctly to work in the integrated storage slot of Dell 11th generation servers, get it here: http://ebay.to/2N6PCZT

The internal SD card reader module with cable (Dell P/N RN354 + KY386) is also available in my store here: https://ebay.us/l1eSEK
