Figure 52. ServerGuide 3.0 Installed Adapters/Controllers. ServerGuide automatically detects what adapters you have installed. This figure shows the result on our test Server 320.

6.A listbox now appears showing recommended diskette packages and optional diskette packages. Select the ones you want to build.

For our test Server 320, Figure 53 on page 79 is displayed. The optional diskette packages may include drivers that are at a later level than those supplied on the NT 4.0 CD-ROM.

Note: Packages such as TME 10 NetFinity can be installed directly from CD-ROM onto your server without the use of diskettes by using the CoPilot installation utility. Refer to 4.3.1, ªCoPilotº on page 75 for more information.
