Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program simplifies the process of installing the
operating system and device drivers by performing the following tasks:
v Detects installed hardware devices
v Guides you through the process of creating a response file
v Prepares the hard disk for installation
v Prompts you to insert the operating-system installation disc
v Initiates an unattended installation of the operating system and device drivers for
most adapters and devices
The program is contained on the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD provided with your
server. If you did not receive a ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD with your server, you
can download an ISO image of the DVD from Lenovo Support Web site
(http://www.lenovo.com/support). The program has a built-in help system and User
Guide to answer any questions you might have. The program also provides
compatibility notes to help you determine what server configurations and operating
systems are supported by that specific version of the program.
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program also enables you to save the response file
on a USB device or diskette for reuse, and an option that enables you to install an
operating systems using the saved response. This option is useful if you intend to
install the same operating system on similarly configured ThinkServer servers.
Notes:
1. If you intend to implement a RAID, make sure your storage controller or RAID
adapter is configured correctly before you use the ThinkServer EasyStartup
program to install the operating system.
2. If you are using any external storage devices or fiber channels, use the utilities
provided with the device. You also will have to provide the device drivers for
these devices and install them after the EasyStartup program finishes installing
the operating system.
3. The ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD requires that you have a DVD drive that is
configured as your first device in the startup sequence. Use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to view or change your startup sequence.
See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 16 for details.
4. To install an operating system, you need the operating system installation disc
(CD or DVD) and the associated product key, if one was provided.
To start the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD, do the following:
1. Insert the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD and restart the server. If the
EasyStartup program does not start, see
