Using ServerGuide for IBM Netfinity 81
6.2 HardwareGuide and Windows NT Server 4.0
The HardwareGuide CD helps you perform a simplified server installation that is
specific to your system based on the hardware detected. HardwareGuide’s
easy-to-use wizard interface puts you in complete control of the setup and
configuration process, with your choice of an express or custom configuration
path; no setup diskettes are needed on Netfinity servers. You can run system
configuration utilities, set up your RAID configuration, and install flash BIOS
updates directly from the HardwareGuide CD. HardwareGuide also installs and
uses a 50 MB system partition on your hard drive. The system partition, if
available, can be used in the future by other IBM products. After you complete the
hardware configuration you are ready to install your network operating system.
Begin using the HardwareGuide CD by completing the following steps:
1. Insert the HardwareGuide CD, and turn on or reboot your Netfinity system.
2. At the Make a selection screen, select (Start here) Run HardwareGuide for
all servers and press Enter.
3. At the ServerGuide language screen, click English.
4. In the region and keyboard panels, the default selection is United States. Click
Next.
5. Read the Welcome Screen and click Next.
6. Select Express as your configuration method.
7. Select Microsoft Windows NT Server as the operating system you will install
and click Next.
8. The Express Configuration detects the hardware configuration and states
which utility programs are required. For example:
• Date and time
• ServeRAID configuration
• System partition configuration
Click Next.
9. At the date and time screen, ensure that the correct date and time are
indicated (if not, modify to correct). Click Next.
10.The ServeRAID Configuration screen appears. Take a moment to read the
information. Click Next.
11.If the controller card (controller 1) is not configured, click the right mouse
button and select Configure the ServeRAID Controller. You will have two
configuration paths from which to select:
• Express Configuration for Controller 1
• Custom Configuration for Controller 1
12.In our example, we had six 9 GB drives installed in our IBM Netfinity 5500 (the
deployment server). Select Express Configuration for Controller 1. The
controller card is set to one array, one logical drive and six physical drives.
• New Array A: 43.3 MB capacity
• New Logical Drive 1: RAID level-5, 34.7 MB
• Physical Drives: 5 - 8.6 MB used capacity on each drive
