Using the Documentation

Using the Documentation

Information about your IBM BladeCenter, xSeries, or IntelliStation system and preinstalled software, if
any, is available in the documentation that comes with your system. That documentation includes printed
books, online books, readme files, and help files. See the troubleshooting information in your system
documentation for instructions for using the diagnostic programs. The troubleshooting information or
the diagnostic programs might tell you that you need additional or updated device drivers or other
software. IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest technical
information and download device drivers and updates. To access these pages, go to
