So I have Dell PowerEdge T130 tower server, and I wish to install Windows Server 2016 Essentials on it.
When I configure RAID in Dell Lifecycle Controller everything is fine, but when I try to run installation it asks me for drivers.
I've looked few hours for them, used older from WS 2008 and 2012 and it doesn't accept it.
This page says that the server supports Windows Server 2016:

This page (S130 RAID Controller manual) says it supports only 2012, 2012 R2 and 2008.

Can anyone help me finding proper drivers or find a solution to make PowerEdge T130, Windows Server 2016 with RAID configured work?
If I won't configure RAID controller and use regular SATA one everything is fine.
Thanks in advance for support.

I had this same issue and finaly found these. I finaly found the correct version of the drivers were listed as being for Server v-Next (2016) http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=NPMVJ
