To
install
the
operating
system
on
a
blade
server,
you
can
use
any
of
the
following
methods:
v
Use
Remote
Deployment
Manager
(RDM)
Version
4.20
(or
later)
to
install
a
supported
Microsoft
Windows
or
Red
Hat
Advanced
Server
operating
system.
To
determine
whether
the
operating
system
you
plan
to
install
supports
RDM,
see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/systems_management/.
v
Download
the
latest
operating-system
installation
instructions
at
http://www.ibm.com/support
and
install
the
operating
system.
Local
deployment
for
supported
Microsoft
Windows
operating
systems,
such
as
Windows
2000,
might
require
an
integrated
CD
that
contains
the
Windows
operating
system
with
service
packs
applied.
Instructions
for
creating
a
Windows
Integrated
CD
are
contained
in
the
latest
operating-system
installation
instructions
on
the
IBM
Support
Web
page.
Important:
1.
The
operating
system
in
the
blade
server
must
provide
USB
support
for
the
blade
server
to
recognize
and
use
the
keyboard,
mouse,
CD-ROM
drive,
and
diskette
drive
(or
external
diskette
drive
on
a
BladeCenter
T
unit).
The
BladeCenter
unit
uses
USB
for
internal
communication
with
these
devices.
2.
Some
operating
systems,
such
as
Red
Hat
Enterprise
Linux
2.1,
enable
you
to
select
the
type
of
mouse
that
is
being
used.
If
you
are
offered
this
choice,
select
USB
instead
of
PS/2.
Although
the
mouse
is
a
PS/2-style
device,
communication
with
the
mouse
is
through
an
internal
USB
bus
in
the
BladeCenter
unit;
therefore,
the
operating
system
in
the
blade
server
must
recognize
the
mouse
as
a
USB
device.
