• Checks the microcode (firmware) levels of a ServeRAID adapter and determines whether a later level is
available from the CD

Setup and configuration overview
Use this information for the ServerGuide setup and configuration.
When you use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, you do not need setup diskettes. You can use the
CD to configure any supported server model. The setup program provides a list of tasks that are required
to set up your server model. On a server with a ServeRAID adapter or SAS/SATA controller with RAID
capabilities, you can run the SAS/SATA RAID configuration program to create logical drives.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide program.
Typical operating-system installation
This section details the ServerGuide 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.
Installing your operating system without using ServerGuide
Use this information to install the operating system on the server without using ServerGuide.
If you have already configured the server hardware and you are not using the ServerGuide program to
install your operating system, you can download operating-system installation instructions for the server
from http://www.lenovo.com/support.
