4.3.2 AutoPilot

AutoPilot lets you learn about ServerGuide and then be guided step-by-step through the hardware configuration of the server.

AutoPilot will display some of the following choices. An example of this is shown in Figure 50.

•ServerGuide overview

•RAID configuration (when a RAID adapter is detected in your system)

•Micro Channel configuration (when detected)

•EISA configuration (when detected)

•Flash BIOS update (when the update is available)
