Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program

The ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD simplifies the process of configuring your RAID controllers and installing
an operating system. The program works in conjunction with your Windows or Linux operating-system
installation disc to automate the process of installing the operating systems and associated device drivers.
If you did not receive an ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD with your server, you can download an image from
the Lenovo Support Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/support.
The EasyStartup program has the following features:
• Self-booting DVD
• Easy-to-use, language-selectable interface
• Integrated help system
• Automatic hardware detection
• RAID configuration utility
• Device drivers provided based on the server model and detected devices
• Selectable partition size and file system
• Support for multiple operating systems
• Installs the operating system and device drivers in an unattended mode to save time
• Creates a reuseable response file that can be used with similarly configured Lenovo servers to make
future installations even faster.
