Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

Use this information as an overview for using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD.
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD provides software setup tools and installation tools that are
designed for your server. The ServerGuide program detects the server model and optional hardware devices
that are installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide
simplifies the operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases,
installing them automatically.
You can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD from
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/ docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-GUIDE.
In addition to the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, you must have your operating-system CD to
install the operating system.
