The Server Configuration Wizard is a utility that is provided to help you configure your server.
The Server Configuration Wizard is located on the System Resource CD-ROM shipped with the

firmware, chassis information, hard disks, and other relevant data. This information is used to
determine what questions the application needs to ask you to complete the configuration.

selection window allowing you to choose the items you want to configure. You can select one or
