ServerGuide

Setup

and

Installation

CD

includes

an

easy-to-use

setup

and

installation

program

that

is

designed

for

your

IBM

server.

The

and

hardware

options

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.

Note:

The

ServerGuide

program

works

only

with

32-bit

Windows

operating

systems.

a

later

version

of

the

ServerGuide

program

is

available,

you

can

download

a

free

image

of

the
