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.
