Users Guide

DTK is flexible enough to fit into almost any deployment plan.
DTK components can be used in many different ways to assist IT staff in deploying Dell systems in large
numbers. Because all the tools and scripts are task-oriented, many of them can be used separately to
perform a specific task on many systems or collectively to perform many tasks on many systems at once.
For information on the deployment methods, see Running The Deployment Scripts.
Deployment matrix for PowerEdge FD332
DTK supports multiple storage sleds (PowerEdge FD332)-to-compute sled (half-width, quarter-width, or
full-width sleds, to which the storage sleds are mapped) mapping. The storage sleds and the storage
controller modules in a PowerEdge FD332 are mapped to the compute sleds in the enclosure. The
enclosures can be in either a split-mode or joint-mode configuration. For more details, see the see the
Dell PowerEdge FD332 Owner’s Manual at dell.com/support/home. The following table lists the
operating system installation and SYSCFG/RAIDCFG configuration support on PowerEdge FD332.
