Not so straight forward Nige, the Cirrus comes with MSATA which I think is on the board, it already has Win8 and Server Core setup in dual boot.
I am running Server minimal R2 off a USB stick on it.
Setting up Server 2012 R2 on Zuma again will require the network card forced install again.

See the mqn thread - I had w8 on a SSD and stuck it into the zuma. Sounds stunning with 2.59. Pretty incredible I think.

Somebody please stop!
