The iDRAC6 Express is a managed persistent storage space for server provisioning data. iDRAC6
Express consists of 1 GB flash and vFlash (an optional external SD card on the optional iDRAC6
Enterprise). vFlash offers the hot-plug portability and increased storage capacity benefits of SD while
still being managed by the system.
iDRAC6 Express is partitioned to support the following applications:

Unified Server Configurator Browser and System Services Module (SSM) (25 MB): the
Unified Server Configurator browser provides a consistent graphical user interface for bare
metal deployment and is ideal for 1-to-1 deployment. The SSM supports automatic 1-to-Many
deployment.

Service Diagnostics (15 MB): formerly on the hard drive as the Utility Partition, this is a
bootable FAT16 partition for Service Diagnostics

Deployment OS Embedded Linux

Deployment OS Windows
hold Windows PE

Driver Store (150 MB): holds all files required for OS deployment


NIC, power supplies and hard drive firmware (This partition also holds the BIOS and option
