Using ServerGuide

Installing an Operating System

The operating system that you select allows you to optimize some of

the features in your server. Your server offers multi-processor

capability so that you can take advantage of SMP technology. You

can maximize the benefits of this technology, provided that you

have an SMP-capable operating system, such as one of the

following, installed in your server:

 OS/2 for SMP

 OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced

 Windows NT Server 3.51

that comes with the operating system.

If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, logical drives,

drive must be less than 2046 MB if you use the high-performance

file system (HPFS), or 1024 MB if you use the file-allocation table

(FAT). This applies to all operating systems.
