Chapter 3. Using the ServerGuide CD
The ServerGuide CD includes easy-to-use software setup and installation tools that
are specifically designed for your 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.
If a later version of the ServerGuide software is available, you can download a free
image of the software, or you can purchase the ServerGuide CD. To download the
latest ServerGuide software, see the ServerGuide page on the IBM Support Web
site at: http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZKPPT.html/
To purchase the latest ServerGuide CD, see the ServerGuide Updates form that
comes with your server library, or go to the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site at
