IBM BladeCenter HS22 User Manual

Chapter 5. 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.
Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to install the
operating system
Use these instructions for using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to
install the blade server operating system.
To use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, complete the following steps:
1. While the blade server is on, press the KVM select button on the front of the
blade server to associate the BladeCenter unit CD drive with the blade server.
2. Insert the CD, and restart the blade server. If the CD does not start, see
“ServerGuide problems” on page 72.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the following tasks:
a. Select your language.
