You can create a Setup Replication Diskette , which contains your hardware
configuration selections. Use this diskette to replicate selections to other servers that
are of the same model.
You can create a NOS Replication Diskette , which contains information that you need
to complete multiple installations. This feature supports servers running some
operating systems.
Installing the NOS without ServerGuide
If you have already configured the server hardware and you decide not to use the
ServerGuide program to install the NOS, download the latest NOS installation
instructions by going to the IBM support site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the
World Wide Web and selecting the appropriate NOS information for the xSeries 360.
Note: If you select Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 as the NOS, do not install the network
adapter driver that comes with that product. It does not support the newer
onboard network adapter in this server. Instead, install the driver available at
the IBM support site.
Additional programs included with ServerGuide
As a convenience, the ServerGuide program comes with additional software to assist
you with the server installation.
A variety of powerful applications are included with the ServerGuide software.
Offerings can vary with the different versions of the ServerGuide software. Check the
application CD labels for a list of applications, or start the
Setup and Installation CD
