Chapter 2. Installing Your Software
Before you install software in your server, you need to determine
the hardware, software, and operating system requirements for your
operating environment. You might need to use the configuration
programs on an adapter's Option Diskette, such as the IBM PC
ServeRAID Adapter Configuration Diskette, before you install an
operating system and other software.
This chapter provides hardware and software factors that you might
want to consider before selecting and installing an operating system.
You can install an operating system using ServerGuide or a
separately purchased off-the-shelf operating system.
This chapter also includes instructions for configuring the IBM
Ethernet Quad-BT PeerMaster Server Adapter that comes in some
models.
At this time, you should have unpacked your server and attached
cables to it. (Refer to the Setup sheet for instructions.) See the
important information about arranging your workspace for comfort
and safety included in this chapter. Be sure to read the IBM
ServerGuide package before you set up your server.
