I bought and opened up WHS recently and was presented with 4 discs. I'm trying to figure out what everything is.

I know that this is the OS disc
WHS%20Install%20Disc.jpg



This is the disc that you run on comps that will be attached to the server (Backup etc.)
WHS%20Home%20Server%20Connect.jpg



Does this restore files from the server to another computer? If so is this run from the comp that is being restored?
WHS%20Home%20Comp%20Restore.jpg



Not sure what this is, came outside of the case with the other 3 discs.
WHS%20Inc%20Power%20Pack%201.jpg



Thanks for the input, I know it might seem kind of trivial but I have been unable to find the answer elsewhere.
 
Is this everything you got? If so, the yellow paper tells you about the OEM PIK disk.
 
restore cd is what you boot from on a computer when you want to reload the computer from a backup contained on the whs.
 
The only disc you need is the first one. You can install the connector software from that. It puts it in the software share and you install it remotely. It also puts the image of the restore disc in the same share if you ever need to burn another.

I did go ahead and install it and as you said I did see the connect software and reload software, thanks :).

I'm still curious as what the 4th disc I pictured is for.

Thanks for all the quick responses :).

The 4th disc is for system builders. If you were to build and distribute WHS machines. Though you would still need keys for each computer.
