Configuring the Server Blade

This section contains information about configuring the server blade and
installing the operating system.

The operating system can be installed in various ways:

Local installation with or without the ServerView Installation Manager

You can find information on local installation in the following sections.

Remote installation using console redirection via the user interface of the
ServerView Management Blade

You can find information on console redirection in the manual "PRIMERGY
BX900 Blade Server Systems ServerView Management Blade S1 User
Interface Description". Apart from this, the operating system installation is
carried out in the same way as a local installation.

Importing the clone images from an image repository to the desired
server blades.

For more information about this procedure, see the "ServerView Deployment
