2 Overview: Installation steps
This chapter contains an overview of the steps necessary to install your 
Server Blade. The cross-references take you to the sections containing more 
detailed information on the relevant installation step: 
Ê First read the chapter "Important notes" from page 19, particularly the 
section "Safety instructions".
Ê Unpack the Server Blade, check the contents of the package for visible 
transport damage and check whether the items delivered correspond to the 
details on the delivery note (see section 4.1 on page 32).
Ê Transport the server blade to the place where you want to set it up.
Ê Make sure that you have all necessary manuals (see page 8); print out the 
PDF files if required.
Ê Install the server blade in your BX900 system unit (see section 4.2 on 
page 32). 
Ê Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators on the front of the 
server blade (see chapter 5 from page 39). 
Ê Install the operating system and applications on the server blade.
When doing so, you have the following options:
– Clone the server blade from a remote image server using the ServerView 
Deployment Manager.
This procedure is recommended if the following conditions are met:
– ServerView Deployment Manager software is available.
– You have a suitable clone image.
– A Deployment Server and LAN connection are available.
– Remote installation with ServerStart/Installation Manager
This installation method is recommended if you have a LAN connection 
and a DHCP server (Deployment Server) available, but the cloning 
requirements are not met.
