Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program

The EasyStartup DVD simplifies the process of configuring your RAID controllers

and installing an operating system. The program works in conjunction with your

Windows or Linux operating-system installation disc to automate the process of

installing the operating systems and associated device drivers.

If you did not receive an EasyStartup DVD with your server, you can download an

image from the Lenovo Support Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/support.

The EasyStartup program has the following features:

v Self-booting DVD

v Easy-to-use, language-selectable interface

v Integrated help system

v Automatic hardware detection

v RAID configuration utility

v Device drivers provided based on the server model and detected devices

v Selectable partition size and file system

v Support for multiple operating systems

v Installs the operating system and device drivers in an unattended mode to save

time

v Creates a reuseable response file that can be used with similarly configured

Lenovo servers to make future installations even faster.

Before you use the 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 EasyStartup DVD and restart the server.

2. Advance to the Home screen.

3. Click Compatability notes. The compatability notes feature provides detailed

information about the RAID controllers, 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.

Setup and configuration

When you start the EasyStartup DVD, you will be prompted for the following:

v Select the language in which you want to view the program.

v Select the language of the keyboard you will be using with the program.

Note: The following language keyboards are supported: English, French, German,

Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, and Dutch. Your EasyStartup DVD might

be English only. In this case, the keyboard layout should be English.

You will then see one or more reminders about configuring storage devices, and

then you will be presented with the Lenovo License Agreement. Read the license

agreement carefully. You must agree with terms in order to continue.
