IBM® xSeries 150: Installation Guide
Important
After the server restarts a series of configuration and system preparation
programs that finish configuring the NOS are run automatically. These
programs must finish running before you use any included applications (such
as the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility or the Terminal Services
Client) to connect to or configure your xSeries 150. Do not connect to or
configure the xSeries 150 for at least 15 minutes after system restart. This notice
applies only to the first time the xSeries 150 is started after using the Recovery
CD.
Note: Logical Disk 0 will be configured to a 2GB NTFS boot partition. Any other
previously configured logical disk drives will be left unchanged.
Important
The xSeries 150 is a "headless" system, meaning that there is no keyboard or
mouse is attached to the server. Because of this, the preload image restore
process cannot require interaction. Starting the Recovery CD will, without
prompting the user, automatically destroy all data on the system drive. Use the
Recovery Enablement Diskette and Recovery CD only when it is absolutely
necessary to restore the preloaded system image.
The Supplementary CD contains documentation and copies of key software
applications that are preinstalled on your xSeries 150. The following table includes
the names of the directories found on the Supplementary CD and a description of the
contents of the directory.

Advanced The IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration agent is preinstalled as a
Appliance Windows Powered service on the xSeries 150. To install the Advanced
Configuration Appliance Configuration console, run setup.exe from the x:\IBM Advanced
Appliance Configuration directory, where x is the drive letter assigned to
your CD-ROM drive.
DiskImages Self-extracting diskette images for the Recovery Enablement Diskette
(RecovDsk.exe) and the ServeRAID Configuration Reset diskette
(SR33YCFG.EXE, SR3XYCFG.EXE).

this directory for last minute and model specific updates.

data stored in your ServeRAID array will be lost. Use this diskette only if you
want to reset the xSeries 150 to factory default settings.

etc, you may be prompted to insert your Windows Powered CD-ROM. If so,
insert the Supplementary CD, and specify path x:\i386 where x is the drive
letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive.
