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

Rapid Deployment Pack
To deploy your Blade PCs 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 CD included with your enclosure.
Alternate Deployment Method
If you are not using Rapid Deployment Pack, use your preferred
deployment infrastructure. Blade PCs have a PXE-enabled NIC (the
first NIC only) and support bootable USB CD-ROM and USB
diskette drives (attached via the diagnostic adapter).
