Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD contains a setup and installation
program that is 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 program
simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in
some cases, installing them automatically.
If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free
image of the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, or you can purchase the CD.
To download the image, go to the IBM ServerGuide Web page at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZKPPT.html. To purchase the latest
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, go to the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site
at http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/serverguide/sub.html.
The ServerGuide program has the following features:
v
An easy-to-use interface
v
Diskette-free setup, and configuration programs that are based on detected
hardware
v
Device drivers that are provided for the server model and detected hardware
v
Operating-system partition size and file-system type that are selectable during

ServerGuide features
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide
program. To learn more about the version that you have, start the
ServerGuide
Setup and Installation
CD and view the online overview. Not all features are
supported on all server models.
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.
The ServerGuide program performs the following tasks:
v
Sets system date and time
v
Detects the SCSI RAID adapter, controller, or integrated SAS controller with
RAID capabilities and runs the SCSI RAID configuration program (with LSI chip
sets for ServeRAID adapters only)
v
Checks the microcode (firmware) levels of a ServeRAID adapter and determines
whether a later level is available from the CD
v
Detects installed optional hardware devices and provides updated device drivers
for most adapters and devices
v
Provides diskette-free installation for supported Windows operating systems
v
Includes an online readme file with links to tips for hardware and
operating-system installation
Setup and configuration overview
When you use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, you do not need setup
diskettes. You can use the CD to configure any supported IBM 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 integrated SAS controller with RAID
capabilities, you can run the SCSI RAID configuration program to create logical
drives.
