operating system that you purchased and still use many of the
features available on ServerGuide. (For example, you can install
NetFinity, a LAN systems-management program; run demonstration
programs; use the performance-tuning feature; and do much more.)
If you have not already done so, take the time now to read the

Before You Begin
You can install an operating system from the diskettes or CDs that
come with the operating system.
The ServerGuide package contains various operating-system updates
that are designed specifically to work with your server. Some of
these updates are not provided in existing, off-the-shelf versions of
the operating systems. If you intend to use one or more of the
operating systems that are provided in the ServerGuide package,
use ServerGuide for the installation.
Note: You can use ServerGuide to install an off-the-shelf operating
system that you purchased.
If you choose not to use ServerGuide to install your operating
system, you must install the SCSI and SVGA device drivers. The
device drivers are on the diskettes that came with the server.
Follow the installation instructions in your operating-system
documentation. The README files on the diskettes might contain
additional information.
Note: If your server has a network adapter or RAID adapter
installed, you must install the required device drivers.
Follow the installation instructions in your network-adapter
documentation or RAID adapter documentation.
Before you install an operating system on a server that has a
RAID adapter installed, use the configuration programs on the
RAID adapter Option Diskette to view or change the existing
disk-array configuration. Refer to the RAID adapter
documentation for detailed instructions; then, return here.
