What are now the next steps to install Windows ? Suppose this is a RAID config ?
The IMM says:
The System "SN#-----" encountered a firmware hang
Answer
If you have multiple HDDs and you want to use RAID, you need to setup RAID before installing the OS.
On the TS200, you do this through BIOS Setup:
- Click F1
- Go to System Settings
- UEFI adapters
- Refresh adapters
- Select the RAID adapter
- follow prompts to configure RAID
Then install the OS using DVD.
- During boot, insert the DVD
- Hit F12 to boot to alternate media
- Follow prompts to install the OS.
Consider updating the firmware using the following:

Burn the ISO and boot to it by hitting F12 and selecting the optical drive as startup device from the list.
