Planning the Installation Preparing for Software Deployment To prepare for software deployment, you must first set up Rapid Deployment Pack or another deployment method. These deployment methods are discussed in Chapter 4, "Deployment and Management." Rapid Deployment Pack To deploy the server blades 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 Pack CD included with the enclosure. To install Linux software on target servers, you must have FTP software running on the Deployment Server. Refer to the ProLiant Integration Module for Altiris eXpress User Guide for details about setting up the FTP software on the deployment server. Alternate Deployment Method If you are not using Rapid Deployment Pack, use your preferred deployment methodology. Note that you cannot install an operating system from a CD onto the ProLiant BL e-Class server blades using a USB CD-ROM drive. However, the NICs on the server blades are PXE-enabled, and the server blades support a bootable USB diskette drive (attached using the diagnostic adapter). Shipping Contents IMPORTANT: All the rack mounting hardware necessary for installing the ProLiant BL e-Class server blade enclosure into an HP, Compaq branded, or third-party rack is included with the 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. 2-6 HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Setup and Installation Guide

Planning the Installation
Preparing for Software Deployment
To prepare for software deployment, you must first set up Rapid Deployment Pack or
another deployment method. These deployment methods are discussed in Chapter 4,
“Deployment and Management.”
Rapid Deployment Pack
To deploy the server blades 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 Pack CD included with the
enclosure. To install Linux software on target servers, you must have FTP software
running on the Deployment Server. Refer to the
ProLiant Integration Module for
Altiris eXpress User Guide
for details about setting up the FTP software on the
deployment server.
Alternate Deployment Method
If you are not using Rapid Deployment Pack, use your preferred deployment
methodology. Note that you cannot install an operating system from a CD onto the
ProLiant BL e-Class server blades using a USB CD-ROM drive. However, the NICs
on the server blades are PXE-enabled, and the server blades support a bootable USB
diskette drive (attached using the diagnostic adapter).
