Chapter 4. Using the ServerGuide CDs

The ServerGuide CDs include easy-to-use software setup and installation tools that are specifically designed for your IBM server. The ServerGuide Setup and Installation program detects the server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide tools simplify NOS installations by providing updated device drivers, and in some cases, installing them automatically.

If a newer version of the ServerGuide software is available, you can purchase an update package. For details, see the ServerGuide Updates form that comes with your server library, or go to the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/coupon
