Use these instructions to install the operating system on the blade
server.
To install the operating system on a blade server, you can use
any of the following methods:
- Use the ServerGuide Setup
and Installation CD to install a supported Microsoft Windows operating system.
- Use Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.20 (or later) to install
a supported operating system. To determine whether RDM supports an operating
system, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/.
- Download the latest operating-system installation instructions and install
the operating system.
Important: The operating system in the blade server must
provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard,
mouse, and removable-media drives. The BladeCenter® unit uses USB for internal
communication with these devices.
