Operating system considerations The following operating systems are supported on a blade server: Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft Red Hat Red Hat Red Hat SUSE TurboLinux Windows 2003ES Windows 2003SS Windows 2003Web RHEL3AS RHEL3ES RHEL3WS SLES8 and SLES9 TurboLinux ES 8 Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Windows Server 2003, Web Edition Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Advanced Server Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Edge Server Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v.3 for x86) SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 and 9 (UL 1.0 Based) Turbolinux Enterprise Server 8 (UL 1.0 Based) For more information about your operating system go to the following Web site: www.ibm.com/pc/support. Device driver considerations Some of the options available for the BladeCenter T unit have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation that comes with your option for information about installing any required device drivers. For example, Ethernet controllers are integrated on each blade server system board. The Ethernet controllers provide 1000-Mbps full-duplex capability only, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data to the external ports on the Ethernet switches. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller for the blade server operating system. However, you must install a device driver in the blade server to enable the blade server operating system to address the Ethernet controller. Application considerations Information about some of the applications including system management are provided in these redpieces and redpapers available at www.ibm.com/redbooks: v Deploying Lotus Domino on IBM BladeCenter v Deploying Citrix MetalFrame on IBM BladeCenter v Deploying Microsoft Exchange IBM BladeCenter v The Cutting Edge: IBM BladeCenter 50 BladeCenter T Types 8720 and 8730: Planning and Installation Guide

Device
driver
considerations
Some
of
the
options
available
for
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
have
device
drivers
that
you
need
to
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
option
for
information
about
installing
any
required
device
drivers.
For
example,
Ethernet
controllers
are
integrated
on
each
blade
server
system
board.
The
Ethernet
controllers
provide
1000-Mbps
full-duplex
capability
only,
which
enables
simultaneous
transmission
and
reception
of
data
to
the
external
ports
on
the
Ethernet
switches.
You
do
not
need
to
set
any
jumpers
or
configure
the
controller
for
the
blade
server
operating
system.
However,
you
must
install
a
device
driver
in
the
blade
server
to
enable
the
blade
server
operating
system
to
address
the
Ethernet
controller.
