the

 

CD

 

to

provides

 

a

 

list

 

of

 

tasks

 

that

 

are

 

required

 

to

 

set

your

 

server

 

model.

 

On

 

a

 

server

 

with

 

a

 

SAS/SATA

 

controller

 

with

 

RAID

 

capabilities,

 

you

 

can

 

run

 

the

 

LSI

Utility

 

program

 

to

 

create

 

logical

 

drives.

 

Note:

 

Features

 

and

 

functions

 

can

 

vary

 

slightly

 

with

 

different

 

versions

 

of

 

the

 

ServerGuide

 

program.

Typical

 

operating-system

 

installation

 

The

 

ServerGuide

 

program

 

can

 

reduce

 

the

 

time

 

it

 

takes

 

to

 

install

 

an

 

operating

 

system.

 

It

 

provides

 

the

 

device

 

drivers

 

that

 

are

 

required

 

for

 

your

 

hardware

 

and

 

for

 

the

 

operating

 

system

 

that

 

you

 

are

 

installing.

 

This

 

section

 

describes

 

a

 

typical

 

ServerGuide

 

operating-system

 

installation.

 

Note:

 

Features

 

and

 

functions

 

can

 

vary

 

slightly

 

with

 

different

 

versions

 

of

 

the

 

ServerGuide

 

program.

 

1.

   

After

 

you

 

have

 

completed

 

the

 

setup

 

process,

 

the

 

operating-system

 

installation

 

program

 

starts.

 

(You

 

will

 

need

 

your

 

operating-system

 

CD

 

to

 

complete

 

the

 

installation.)

 

2.

   

The

 

ServerGuide

 

program

 

stores

 

information

 

about

 

the

 

server

 

model,

 

service

 

processor,

 

hard

 

disk

 

drive

 

controllers,

 

and

 

network

 

adapters.

 

Then,

 

the

 

program

 

checks

 

the

 

CD

 

for

 

newer

 

device

 

drivers.

 

This

 

information

 

is

 

stored

 

and

 

then

 

passed

 

to

 

the

 

operating-system

 

installation

 

program.

 

3.

   

The

 

ServerGuide

 

program

 

presents

 

operating-system

 

partition

 

options

 

that

 

are

 

based

 

on

 

your

 

operating-system

 

selection

 

and

 

the

 

installed

 

hard

 

disk

 

drives.

 

4.

   

The

 

ServerGuide

 

program

 

prompts

 

you

 

to

 

insert

 

your

 

operating-system

 

CD

 

and

 

restart

 

the

 

server.

 

At

 

this

 

point,

 

the

 

installation

 

program

 

for

 

the

 

operating

 

system

 

takes

 

control

 

to

 

complete

 

the

 

installation.

and

 

you

 

are
