Deployment and Management
Blade PC Deployment Options
The Blade PCs are designed for rapid deployment and are ideally
suited for headless (unattended), network-based software installation
and configuration. Rapid Deployment Pack is the optimum choice for
Blade PCs and facilitates the configuration of a few or hundreds of
blades from an easy-to-use, remote-based graphical deployment
console. The PXE-enabled NIC (only the first NIC) and support for
bootable USB diskette and USB CD-ROM drives on the Blade PC
also facilitate the use of other deployment methods.
Automated Deployment Using Rapid Deployment Pack
Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) integrates two powerful products:
Altiris Deployment Solution and the ProLiant Integration Module.
The RDP console’s graphical interface provides intuitive
drag-and-drop events, such as scripts and images, for deploying
operating systems and applications to multiple Blade PCs
simultaneously. Rapid Deployment Pack also has advanced features
that can detect and display Blade PCs based on their physical rack,
enclosure, and bay locations. You can set the deployment console to
automatically install pre-defined configurations on newly installed
Blade PCs.
For more information about Rapid Deployment Pack, refer to your
authorized reseller, the Rapid Deployment CD that ships with your
enclosure, or visit the following website:

Alternate Deployment Methods
Blade PCs have a PXE-enabled NIC (the first NIC only) and support
bootable USB diskette and CD-ROM drives, as well as a keyboard,
video, and a mouse attached via the diagnostic adapter. These
features enable you to use your own network-based or local, attended
deployment methods for booting and installing software onto Blade
PCs.
