6.4 Use of embedded VMware ESXi

The x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 servers support an IBM USB flash drive option preinstalled with
VMware ESXi. VMware ESXi is fully contained on the flash drive, and so does not require any
disk space. The IBM USB Memory Key for VMware Hypervisor plugs into the internal USB
port located on system board of Primary I/O Book.
Supported options are listed in 3.20, "Integrated virtualization" on page 100.
