Installing an Operating System
Before You Begin
You can install an operating system from ServerGuide or from
separately purchased diskettes or CDs.
Ÿ
Before you install an operating system on a disk-array model,
use the configuration programs on the IBM PC ServeRAID
Adapter Configuration Diskette to view or change the existing
disk-array configuration. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Disk Array” on page 71 for detailed instructions; then, return
here.
Ÿ Before you install an operating system on a system with a
PeerMaster adapter, use the configuration programs on the
PeerMaster Adapter Option Diskette to view or change the
existing configuration. Refer to Chapter 4, “Configuring the
PeerMaster Adapter” on page 131 for detailed instructions; then,
return here.
Ÿ
If you have not already installed your options, do so now,
before you install your operating system. Installing your
options now enables ServerGuide to install the necessary device
drivers during the operating system installation process. Some
options might require device drivers that are not available on
ServerGuide. If this occurs, follow the installation instructions
that come with the option; then, return here.
Ÿ
If you are installing an operating system from the ServerGuide
CD, select Start Here and follow the instructions on the screen;
then, go to “Installation Checklist” on page 68.
Ÿ If you are installing your own operating system:
1. Review “Hardware Considerations” on page 23; then return
here.
2. Follow the installation instructions that come with your
operating system; then, go to “Installation Checklist” on
page 68.
