ServerGuide features

Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the ServerGuide program. To learn more about the version that you have, start the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD and view the online overview. Not all features are supported on all blade server models.

The ServerGuide program requires a supported IBM blade server that is associated with an enabled startable (bootable) CD drive. In addition to the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, you must have the operating-system CD to install the operating system.

The ServerGuide program has the following features:

• Sets system date and time
• Detects installed optional hardware devices and provides updated device drivers for most adapters and devices
• Provides diskette-free installation for supported Windows operating systems
• Includes an online readme file with links to tips for the hardware and operating-system installation
