This chapter contains an overview of the server features and
components. In addition, this chapter describes how to start the
server and use the CD-ROM drive.
See Chapter 2, “Installing Your Software” on page 27 for details
about installing an operating system and other software. (Refer to
the SCSI Software User's Guide for information about SCSI device
drivers and the SCSI-2 utility programs that you can use to
configure the SCSI devices that you install.)
This User's Handbook also describes how to configure and use the
server, and how to install and remove options. The troubleshooting
information will help you solve some of the simpler problems that
might occur. Appendix A, “Server Records” on page 279 provides
a section for you to record all the important information about your
server.
Refer to the User's Reference for more detailed information about the
server features. That book also includes a glossary, warranty
information, and other important notices.
