Abstract
Apparatus and methods for server configuration using a removable storage device are provided. The apparatus and methods include coupling a removable storage device reader to a server and inserting a removable storage device into the reader. The removable storage device includes configuration data that is used to configure the server. When power is supplied to the server, the server performs a boot-up sequence that includes uploading the configuration data from the removable storage device. The same removable storage device reader may be used to configure a plurality of servers. That is, the removable storage device reader is capable of being easily moved and coupled to a plurality of servers one after the other. The user may make use of the same removable storage device or different removable storage devices for each of the plurality of servers. The user is not required to have any technical knowledge regarding configuring server devices since the server performs the configuration itself upon boot-up based on the configuration information uploaded from the removable storage device.
