be designated for PXE in RBSU. For NIC connector locations, refer to the documentation included with the server blade. NOTE: Actual NIC numeration depends on several factors, including the OS installed on the server blade. To deploy an OS to multiple server blades, install a PXE deployment server on a network. Deployment infrastructure IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed. To establish a network-based PXE deployment infrastructure, provide the following software and minimum hardware: • Client PC (administrative workstation) o AMD Athlon™ XP processor (700 MHz or greater recommended), AMD Athlon™ 64 processor, or Intel® Pentium® III or higher processor (700 MHz or greater recommended) o 128 MB of RAM o Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional or Microsoft® Windows® XP OS o Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or above with 128-bit encryption o Ethernet NIC with 10/100 RJ-45 connector o TCP/IP networking and an IP address compatible with one of the following: the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port IP address or an assigned DHCP or static IP address o CD-ROM drive, CD/DVD-ROM drive, and/or diskette drive o Any of the following Java™ Runtime Environment versions: 1.3.1_02 1.3.1_07 1.3.1_08 1.4.1 for Windows® users only 1.4.2 for Linux users only Access the Java™ Runtime Environment versions at the HP website (http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html). • DHCP server (IP address assignment) o AMD Athlon™ XP processor (700 MHz or greater recommended), AMD Athlon™ 64 processor, or Intel® Pentium® or Pentium® II 200-MHz or faster processor o 64 MB of RAM o 64 MB of free hard drive space o 10-Mb/s network adapter • PXE deployment server (storing boot images) o AMD Athlon™ XP processor (700 MHz or greater recommended), AMD Athlon™ 64 processor, or Intel® Pentium® III or higher processor (500 MHz recommended) o 256 MB of RAM Software and configuration utilities 44
