Understanding the technologies behind RDP is necessary for proper implementation of HP server
blade deployment. These include: DHCP, PXE, Bootworks, and AClient.

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) simplifies the administrative management of IP address
configuration by automating address configuration for network clients. The DHCP standard provides
for the use of DHCP servers, which are defined as any computer running the DHCP service. The DHCP
server automatically allocates IP addresses and related TCP/IP configuration settings to DHCP-enabled
clients on the network. The use of DHCP is required to utilize the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE).
The DHCP server supplies the address of a Boot Server (PXE Server) in the DHCP response. For more
information on DHCP, see the Internet Software Consortium at:
