This topic describes how to install BT-Panel on an ECS instance that runs Windows Server.

Important

Note:

  • If you perform risky operations, such as modifying instances or data, ensure data security by understanding the disaster recovery and fault tolerance capabilities of your instances.

  • If you modify the configurations or data of instances, such as ECS and RDS instances, create snapshots or enable features such as RDS log backup in advance.

  • If you have granted permissions or submitted security information, such as logon credentials, on the Alibaba Cloud platform, change them promptly.

System requirements

  • The latest version of the panel, available on the official download page, supports only Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022. You must install it on a clean or newly initialized system.

    Note

    Microsoft stopped providing support for the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems on January 14, 2020. Therefore, Alibaba Cloud no longer provides technical support for ECS instances that run these operating systems. Technical documents related to these systems are for reference only. If you have ECS instances that run these operating systems, update them to Windows Server 2012 or a later version as soon as possible.
