The server includes one internal Cisco FlexFlash drive, which is included on
the I/O riser card.
This drive is pre-loaded with four virtual drives (implemented as flash

server drivers set, and a Hypervisor. These virtual drives are booted through
the server's F6 boot menu.

digital (SD) card slot 2 on the I/O riser card.
An optional 4GB USB drive can be used as a bootable drive
