I own a IBM 5600 xseries 240 server & am looking for ServerGuide to get it up & running. Is there anyone out there that can help me out?? Thanks

hi,
I see a little of confusion:

for Netfinity 5600 (say 10 years old) the link is:

http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/sy...351152&brandind=5350884&oldfamily=0&taskind=2

while for xSerier 240 (say 5 years old) is:

http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/sy...70&osind=0&brandind=5000008&oldfamily=5050275

Could you tell us the correct indication ?

These next 2 are written in big chars
BRAND: xSeries, Netfinity, ...
SERIES: 5600(for netfinity, 240 460 ecc for xSeries)

Instead Type-Model are 2 little number XXXX-YYY
in the same label of S/N (Serial number); usually
these 2 are little and in the front bottom (very botttom)
of the box, or in a side.

bye
vittorio

You don't really need the serverguide to install the OS. All you really need is the raidmanager support CD so you can create your raid array and then the device driver for your raid controller on a floppy disk. See the books folder in the raidman CD for instructions on how to do that.

Then press F6 when prompted when booting to your OS CD.
