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.
