About Diskless Servers
The Sun Blade X6450 is a diskless server. This means that you cannot install the operating system on a local disk because it does not have one.
Instead, you have other choices. These include:
■Installing the operating system on the compact flash, which shares characteristics with a hard drive, and which can support some operating systems. This option is described in “Compact Flash Drive” on page 6.
■Installing the operating system on the SSD, or Solid State Disk device. See “Solid State Disk Drive (SSD)” on page 7.
■Configure diskless network boot, which boots the server module from a boot image on another server. See the Sun Blade X6450 Server Module Operating System Installation Guide or your operating system documentation for more information.
