IBM ServerGuide™ Your server includes a copy of the IBM ServerGuide package. You can insert a CD and begin a simplified server installation, with device drivers that have been tested for your server. You can use the programs on the ServerGuide CDs to: - Configure supported hardware directly from CD. - Automate some of the network operating system (NOS) installation steps, through an easy-to-use wizard. - Detect the supported hardware installed in your server; then, provide thoroughly tested device drivers for that hardware. Note: Some of these system-specific device drivers are newer than the drivers included with off-the-shelf NOS packages. - Provide a Replicated Installation path for installing Windows NT Server 4.0 on multiple servers. - Install popular application programs directly from CD. - Install IBM Update Connector. Once this program has been installed, you can connect to IBM2, and receive any available device drivers, BIOS, and program updates. (This requires Windows NT Server 4.0 and TCP/IP access to the Internet.) For more information and details about other ServerGuide features, refer to the documentation provided inside your ServerGuide package. If you decide not to use the ServerGuide software to assist you with the installation of your NOS, you need to download system-specific NOS installation instructions and device drivers from the World Wide Web.
