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.
If a later version
of the ServerGuide program
is available, you can download a free image of the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD,
or purchase the CD from the fulfillment Web site at
