Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program

The ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD simplifies the process of configuring your RAID controllers and installing an operating system. The program works in conjunction with your Windows or Linux operating-system installation disc to automate the process of installing the operating systems and associated device drivers.
