+ | * make sure blades have purple cable in bottom interface, turn blade on | ||
+ | * if you know blade will boot of network let it go, else F2, enter BIOS, set Boot menu to network first | ||
+ | * once blade sends its eth0 IP over and receives kickstart file, move on to next blade | ||
+ | * do 2-3 blades this way | ||
+ | * once the first blade is rebooted, enter BIOS, set boot menu to hard disk | ||
