Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
Use this information as an overview for using the ServerGuide Setup and
Installation CD.
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD contains a setup and installation program
that is designed for your blade server. The ServerGuide program detects the blade
server model and optional hardware devices that are installed and uses that
information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program
simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and,
in some cases, installing them automatically.
You can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD or
