Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation DVD
This topic provides information about using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation DVD.
The Lenovo ServerGuide Setup and Installation DVD provides software setup tools and installation tools that

devices that are installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide
simplifies the 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 DVD or purchase the DVD from the
