Hi,

 

We want to install ESXi 4.1 Update 1 on a few Dell PowerEdge M610 blade servers.

They don't have any internal hard drivers.

After getting the servers from Dell, we put into each of them a blank SanDisk 2GB SD card, to install ESXi on it.

 

We noticed that Dell provides an ISO file for ESXi installable and another for ESXi embedded, the same files can also be downloaded from VMware site, see below for the links to all the download pages.

 

What are the differences between the installable edition and the embedded edition?

 

Which one should we use?

 

Thanks.
