ØInstall device drivers

If you install your operating system without using ServerGuide, be sure to install the SCSI, RAID adapter, and network-adapter device drivers. If you use ServerGuide to install your operating system, verify that the appropriate device drivers are installed correctly. These device drivers are on the diskettes that come with your server.

These diskettes contain README files to help you install device drivers and complete your installation. Be sure to review the README files before you install the device drivers.

ØInstall option files

Some options that you install might come with a diskette that contains device drivers, configuration files, or test programs. To install these files (after your operating system is installed), follow the instructions that come with the diskettes.

ØInstall application programs

To install application programs, follow the instructions supplied with each application program.

ØReview your User's Reference

The User's Reference also includes a glossary and your product warranty information.
