ServerGuide features
This topic provides an overview of the ServerGuide program 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
USB DVD and view the online
overview. Not all features are supported on all server models.
The ServerGuide program performs the following tasks:
• Sets system date and time
• Detects the RAID adapter or controller and runs the SAS/SATA RAID configuration program
• Checks the microcode (firmware) levels of a ServeRAID adapter and determines whether a later level is
available from the DVD
• Detects installed hardware options and provides updated device drivers for most adapters and devices
• Provides diskette-free installation for supported Windows operating systems
• Includes an online readme file with links to tips for your hardware and operating-system installation
Setup and configuration overview
This topic provides an overview of how you can use the ServerGuide program to setup and configure the
server.
When you use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
USB DVD, you do not need setup CDs. You can use
the DVD to configure any supported 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 SAS/SATA controller with
RAID capabilities, you can run the SAS/SATA RAID configuration program to create logical drives.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide program.
Typical operating-system installation
This topic provides information about a typical operating-system installation.
The ServerGuide program can reduce the time it takes to install an operating system. It provides the device
drivers that are required for your hardware and for the operating system that you are installing. This section
describes a typical ServerGuide operating-system installation.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide program.
1. After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation program starts. (You will
need your operating-system DVD to complete the installation.)
2. The ServerGuide program stores information about the server model, service processor, hard disk drive
controllers, and network adapters. Then, the program checks the DVD for newer device drivers. This
information is stored and then passed to the operating-system installation program.
3. The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are based on your operating-
system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
4. The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system DVD and restart the server. At
this point, the installation program for the operating system takes control to complete the installation.
