Typical
operating-system
installation
You
can
use
the
ServerGuide
program
to
shorten
your
installation
time.
The
ServerGuide
program
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.

Using
the
SCSISelect
Utility
program
for
Adaptec
HostRAID
configuration
Use
the
SCSISelect
Utility
program
to
add
RAID
level-0
and
level-1
functionality
with
the
option
of
a
hot-spare
drive
to
the
SCSI
controller
with
integrated
RAID.
Installing
a

utility
is
part
of
the
BIOS
code
in
the
server.
The
SCSI
RAID
feature
comes
disabled
by
default.
You
must
enable
it
and
install
the
device
drivers
before
you
can
use
it.
SCSI
RAID
configuration
utilities,
device
drivers,
and
information
are
available
on
the
