Setup and Installation Guide
To prepare for software deployment, you must first set up Rapid
Deployment Pack or another deployment method. These deployment
methods are discussed in
To deploy your Blade PCs using Rapid Deployment Pack, be sure that
you have a DHCP server for IP address assignment, a deployment
server (can be the same system as the DHCP server), and the Rapid
Deployment CD included with your enclosure.
If you are not using Rapid Deployment Pack, use your preferred
deployment infrastructure. Blade PCs have a PXE-enabled NIC (the
first NIC only) and support bootable USB CD-ROM and USB
diskette drives (attached via the diagnostic adapter).
IMPORTANT: All of the rack-mounting hardware necessary for installing
the ProLiant BL e-Class blade enclosure into an HP, Compaq branded, or
third-party rack is included with your enclosure. For Telco racks, a
separate option kit with Telco rack-mounting hardware is available.
For detailed information on deployment options and infrastructure,
refer to the HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Installation and Planning
white paper on the Documentation CD.
