o Use iLO 2 to create an image file of the boot CD. o Copy the image of the boot CD to a location on the network or the client PC hard drive. 2. Remotely access the server blade through iLO 2. See "HP BladeSystem c-Class advanced management (on page 34)." 3. Click the Virtual Media tab. 4. Select the Virtual Media applet. 5. Use the Virtual Media applet to select the local CD or image file and connect the Virtual CD to the server blade. 6. Use the iLO 2 Virtual Power Button feature to reboot the server blade. 7. After the server blade boots, follow the normal network installation procedure for the OS. USB CD-ROM This method uses SmartStart to facilitate loading the OS. However, SmartStart also allows for manual loading of the OS and drivers. To deploy with a boot CD: 1. Use the local I/O cable to connect a USB CD-ROM drive to the server blade. Refer to "Connecting locally to a server blade with video and USB devices (on page 30)." 2. Insert the boot CD into the USB CD-ROM drive. 3. Reboot the server blade. 4. After the server blade boots, follow the normal installation procedure for an OS. Windows Server® 2003 cannot be installed from a USB CD-ROM on the I/O cable if the hard drive is completely blank (no partitions defined). To install Windows Server® 2003, use one of the following methods: • Make a partition on the hard drive that Windows Server® 2003 will be loaded on. • Use the SmartStart CD 7.60 or later. • Use the Rapid Deployment Pack. For instructions, see the HP website (http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/rdp.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USE N). Diskette image deployment To deploy with a diskette image, the user creates a DOS-based network-enabled boot diskette that executes a script that configures the hardware and installs the OS. The diskette enables the server blade to access the required deployment scripts and files on the network. This method implies a deployment infrastructure that may include an administrator workstation, PXE server, Microsoft® Windows® file share, or a Linux file share. For more information, refer to "Deployment infrastructure (on page 35)." Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to the network. NOTE: For more information about hardware and cabling configurations, see the documents that ship with the enclosure. Two methods are available for diskette image deployment: Software and configuration utilities 38
