Before you use the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD

Functionality and supported operating systems can vary with different versions of

the EasyStartup program. To learn more about the version you have, do the

following:

1. Insert the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD and restart the server.

2. Advance to the Home screen.

3. Click Compatability notes. The compatability notes provide detailed

information about the operating systems and server configurations supported

by that version of the EasyStartup program.

4. Click User Guide. The User Guide provides an overview of the various

functions provided by that version of the EasyStartup program.

Before

using the EasyStartup program to install an operating system, make sure

any external storage devices and fiber channels are configured correctly.

Configuring RAID

The RAID configuration feature that is part of the EasyStartup program enables

you to view and change RAID settings for supported RAID controllers. Through

this feature, you have the ability to select one RAID level for each installed

controller, and the program automatically will use the discs currently attached to

the controller to support that RAID level. This method satisfies most users' needs.

Note:

Refer to the EasyStartup User Guide for information about the RAID

controllers that are supported. For this model, the integrated ServeRAID-8s

(Adaptec HostRAID) controller is not supported for configuration using the

EasyStartup program.

If you have a need to assign a primary and secondary RAID on the same controller

and assign some of your discs to the primary RAID and some to the secondary

RAID, you can use either of the following methods:

v Manually remove the drives that you do not want included in your array

before you configure your RAID controller through the EasyStartup program.

This method enables you to use the EasyStartup program to configure your

RAID controller and install the operating system. After the operating system is

installed, reinstall the drives and use the RAID configuration utility provided in

the firmware to configure the secondary RAID.

v Configure the controller using the RAID configuration utility provided in the

firmware before you use the EasyStartup program.

For details, see 49. After your RAID controller is configured, start the

EasyStartup program and install your operating system.
