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 optional hardware devices that are installed and uses
that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide
simplifies the operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers
and, in some cases, installing them automatically.
You can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD or
purchase the CD from the ServerGuide fulfillment website at http://
www.ibm.com/systems/management/serverguide/sub.html. To download the free
image, click

Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
The ServerGuide program requires a supported IBM server with an enabled
startable (bootable) CD drive. In addition to the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, you must have your operating-system CD to install the operating system.
