NOTE: To deploy server blades in an existing server blade enclosure, always use the most
recent version of RDP available at the
HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).
The RDP software is the preferred method for rapid, high-volume server deployments. The RDP software
integrates two powerful products: Altiris Deployment Solution and the HP ProLiant Integration Module.
The intuitive graphical user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution console provides simplified point-
ations that enable you to deploy target servers, including server blades, and-click and drag-and-drop oper
remotely. It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images.
For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or
