Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
Use this information as an overview for using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD.
The
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
simplifies the operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases,
installing them automatically.
