Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
Use this information as an overview for 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. ServerGuide
simplifies the operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases,
installing them automatically.
When using ServerGuide to deploy Windows 2008 series, ServerGuide might run into a blue screen on your
system with or without ServeRAID C110 enabled. To avoid this problem, do the following:
1. Set UEFI settings.
2. View the Device and I/O Ports setting.
3. Do one of the following and save the changes:
• If the ServeRAID C110 is enabled, change the onboard SATA ports as into RAID or IDE .
• If the ServeRAID C110 is not enabled, change the onboard SATA ports as into IDE.
After saving the settings, the system will return to normal when rebooting from ServerGuide.
