Using the ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs include easy-to-use software setup tools and installation
tools that are specifically designed for the IBM server. The ServerGuide Setup and
Installation program detects the server model and hardware options that are
installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The
ServerGuide tools simplify network operating system (NOS) installations by
providing updated device drivers, and in some cases, installing them automatically.
