Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD provides software setup tools and
installation tools that are designed for your server. The ServerGuide program
detects the server model and optional hardware devices that are installed and uses
that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide
program simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device
drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically.
