Service Partition (Optional)
When you are setting up your server system, you can install a service partition on your hard drive.
The service partition includes utilities, diagnostics, and other software that a person could run
locally or remotely to assist in system management. The service partition uses approximately
30 to 40 MB of hard disk space.
It is highly recommended that you install the service partition before installing the operating
system. See the Service Partition section in the Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control for
more information. This document is included in the country kit for your system.
Product Guides
Using the Acrobat .PDF Files
Before you can print the SRKA4/ISP4400 Server System Product Guide or the SKA4 Baseboard
Product Guide from Acrobat, you must connect a printer to the parallel port.
1. From the CD-ROM menu bar, select Read/Print Manuals and press <Enter>. The Adobe
Acrobat reader will be automatically installed on RAM disk d: (simulated disk drive in RAM
memory) and automatically started. The reader lets you view and print out a copy of the
product guide.
2. After the reader starts, a pop-up menu displays a list of several manuals. If you are not sure
which manual applies to your server, check the title page of this guide for the correct product
reference.
3. Use your mouse or the up- and down-arrow keys to select the manual. Double click the left
mouse button or press <Enter> to load the .PDF file for the manual.
4. Use your mouse or the tab key to select the .PDF file for the manual. Double click the left
mouse button or press an arrow key and <Enter> to view the .PDF file.
5. Follow the program options and prompts. If you need to access the Help menu, double click
on Help or press <Alt+h>.
Copying Configuration Software to Diskettes
When you copy software from the CD onto diskettes, device drivers suitable for several different
operating systems are copied onto the diskettes. However, your operating system will read only
those drivers it can recognize, so you cannot usually check the directory of a diskette that is not
formatted for your operating system. Instead, you might see a message to the effect, "disk not
formatted, do you want to format it now?" Don't worry; the drivers for YOUR operating system
are on the diskette and available to load on the system.
1. Before starting, make sure that you have several blank high-density diskettes.
2. From the CD-ROM menu bar, select Create Diskettes and press <Enter>.
3. Follow the prompts to copy the software onto the diskettes.
4. When finished, from the CD-ROM menu bar, select Quit to DOS and press <Enter>.
5. Remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive.
