Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD contains a setup and installation program that is 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 program simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically. If the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD did not come with the server, you can download a free image of the CD or purchase the CD from the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site at http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/serverguide/ sub.html. To download the free image, click IBM Service and Support Site. The ServerGuide program has the following features: v An easy-to-use interface v Diskette-free setup, and configuration programs that are based on detected hardware v ServeRAID Manager program, which configures your ServeRAID adapter or integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities v LSI Configuration Utility program that you use to set up and configure RAID arrays. Note: The LSI Configuration Utility program on the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD provides limited RAID capability. Use the LSI Configuration Utility program that is integrated in the BIOS to get the full range of RAID configuration capabilities. Start the server and watch the monitor; at the prompt > press Ctrl+C. v v Device drivers that are provided for the server model and detected hardware v File-system type that is selectable during setup Chapter 2.
