SmartStart CD
The SmartStart CD is the recommended method for loading system software, thereby
achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum dependability and
supportability. The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq tools.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the SmartStart CD to load system software if you purchased the
system with a factory-installed operating system. Refer to the Factory-Installed Operating
System Software User Guide for software installation guidelines.
SmartStart enables you to perform the following functions:
• Auto-detect and configure the server hardware and drive arrays.
• Install any major server operating system using packaged product CDs.
• Install the latest optimized drivers, ROMPaqs, and management agents.
• Deploy and maintain multiple servers using Integration Server.
• Create and copy standard server configuration scripts using the Scripting Toolkit
and Configuration Replication Utility.
• Test server hardware.
• Create support software diskettes that enable you to update the drivers.
For more information about SmartStart, refer to the documentation shipped with the
server.
