Ad-hoc access to DVD-based media for application installation or
data import
Use the enclosure-based DVD/CD-ROM drive to insert CDs or DVDs to perform tasks such as installing an
application or loading data from a CD. These tasks can be performed on an as-needed basis. Its primary
function is for when the DVD Drive is not used as a boot device.
Updating blade firmware with HP Smart Update Manager
Use the HP BladeSystem Enclosure DVD drive and the Firmware Maintenance media to update ROMs on all
server blades. Create the Firmware Maintenance DVD media to build a bootable DVD. Insert the DVD in the
shared DVD drive, connect all server blades to the drive, and then reboot. The Firmware Maintenance DVD
runs on all server blades connected to the DVD drive.
For more information about HP Smart Update Manager, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. For
more information about updating firmware on server blades, see the HP BladeSystem ProLiant Firmware
Management Best Practices document.
