Obtain the client image package from the Recovery and Source CD or http://hp.com/support. 2. Select HP Compaq Blade Workstation Client. 3. Select Download drivers and software. 4. Select Workstation Blade Client Embedded OS. 5. Save the self-extracting executable. 6. Follow the Readme.txt instructions included in this package to create a bootable USB key or distribute the image over the network. See the /recovery/README file on the Source CD or the Web release notes for more details. CAUTION: All contents of the DOM will be deleted during this process.
