ServeRaid M5110e on x3650M4

Unfortunately at the time I am installing Windows 2008 R2 on x3650M4 (7915) IBM has  not yet updated ServeRaid M5110e on its ServerGuide 9.23. Whatever raid level I selected by following steps in ServerGuide the critical error of raid update failure displayed. It takes me a day before  realizing that I need to find a way round.
First of all the raid setting have to be done via WebRaid because ServerGuide raid setup did not work.
Secondly find out RaidServe M5110e windows driver at http://download2.boulder.ibm.com/sar/CMA/XSA/ibm_dd_sraidmr_5.2.127_windows_32-64.exe and copy it in to USB key
Lastly restart 3650M4 by Windows 2008 R2 DVD and setup as normally except had to upload ServeRaid driver from the USB key before able to see the hard disk partition.
...Go for a beer now
