configuration process. This automated server configuration process cuts time from each server deployed,
making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in a rapid manner.
For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, refer to the HP website

).
CD-ROM deployment
CD-ROM deployment involves using a bootable CD that executes scripts to configure the hardware and
install the OS. After the OS is configured, the server blade can access the network to locate the scripts
and files necessary for deployment. Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to
the network.
NOTE:
For more information about hardware and cabling configurations, see the documents
that ship with the enclosure.
Two methods are available for CD-ROM deployment:
•
iLO virtual CD-ROM (on page
