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 a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free

image of the


CD, or you can purchase the CD.

To download the image, go to the IBM ServerGuide Web page at

http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZKPPT.html. To purchase the latest


CD, go to the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site

at http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/serverguide/sub.html.

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

Device drivers that are provided for the server model and detected hardware

v

Operating-system partition size and file-system type that are selectable during

setup

ServerGuide features

Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide

program. To learn more about the version that you have, start the

ServerGuide

Setup and Installation

CD and view the online overview. Not all features are

supported on all server models.

The ServerGuide program requires a supported IBM server with an enabled

startable (bootable) CD drive. In addition to the


CD, you must have your operating-system CD to install the operating system.

The ServerGuide program performs the following tasks:

v

Sets system date and time

v

Detects the SCSI RAID adapter, controller, or integrated SAS controller with

RAID capabilities and runs the SCSI RAID configuration program (with LSI chip

sets for ServeRAID adapters only)

v

Checks the microcode (firmware) levels of a ServeRAID adapter and determines

whether a later level is available from the CD

v

Detects installed optional hardware devices and provides updated device drivers

for most adapters and devices

v

Provides diskette-free installation for supported Windows operating systems

v

Includes an online readme file with links to tips for hardware and

operating-system installation

Setup and configuration overview

When you use the


CD, you do not need setup

diskettes. You can use the CD to configure any supported IBM server model. The

setup program provides a list of tasks that are required to set up your server model.

On a server with a ServeRAID adapter or integrated SAS controller with RAID

capabilities, you can run the SCSI RAID configuration program to create logical

drives.
