Initiates an unattended installation of the operating system and device drivers
for most adapters and devices
The program is contained on the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD provided with your
server. If you did not receive the DVD with your server, you can download an ISO
image of the DVD from http://www.lenovo.com/support. The program has a
built-in help system and User Guide to answer questions you might have. The
program also provides compatibility notes to help you determine what server
configurations and operating systems are supported by that specific version of the
program.
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program also enables you to save the response file on
a USB device for reuse, and an option that enables you to install an operating
system using the saved response file. This option is useful if you intend to install
the same operating system on similarly configured ThinkServer servers.
Notes:
1. If you intend to implement a RAID, make sure your storage controller or RAID
adapter is configured correctly before you use the ThinkServer EasyStartup
program to install the operating system.
2. If you are using any external storage devices or fiber channels, use the utilities
provided with the device. You also will have to provide the device drivers for
these devices and install them after the EasyStartup program finishes installing
the operating system.
