Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD provides software setup tools and
installation tools that are designed for your server. The ServerGuide program
detects the server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that
information during setup to configure the hardware. Use this CD during the initial
installation of the server to simplify the operating-system installations by providing
updated device drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically. To
download the CD, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/
docdisplay?lndocid=SERV-GUIDE and click
IBM Service and Support Site .
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.

1. Insert the CD, and restart the server. If the CD does not start, see “ServerGuide
Problems” in the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the System x
