v
View the readme file to review installation tips for your operating system and
adapter.
v
Start the operating-system installation. You will need your operating-system CD.
Installing the operating system
Use these instructions to install the operating system on the blade server.
To install the operating system on a blade server, you can use any of the following
methods:
v
Use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD to install a supported Microsoft
Windows operating system.
v
Use Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.20 (or later) to install a
supported operating system. To determine whether RDM supports an operating
system, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/.
v
Download the latest operating-system installation instructions and install the
operating system.
Important:
The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for
the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard, mouse, and removable-media
drives. The BladeCenter unit uses USB for internal communication with these
devices.
Typical operating-system installation
Use this information for a typical ServerGuide operating-system installation.
The ServerGuide program can reduce the time it takes to install an operating
system. It provides the device drivers that are required for the hardware and for
the operating system that you are installing. This section describes a typical
ServerGuide operating-system installation.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
1.
After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation
program starts. (You will need your operating-system CD to complete the
installation.)
2.
The ServerGuide program stores information about the blade server model,
service processor, hard disk drive controllers, and network adapters. Then, the
program checks the CD for newer device drivers. This information is stored
and then passed to the operating-system installation program.
3.
The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are
based on your operating-system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
4.
The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system CD
and restart the blade server. At this point, the installation program for the
operating system takes control to complete the installation. The BladeCenter CD
drive must be associated with the blade server when this step is performed.
Installing the operating system without using ServerGuide
Use these instructions to install the operating system on the blade server without
using a ServerGuide.
If you have already configured the blade server hardware and you are not using
the ServerGuide program to install the operating system, complete the following
steps to download the latest operating-system installation instructions from the
IBM Web site.
