  • Patent number: 8281117
    Abstract: The invention relates to a server with at least one removable storage unit. This removable storage unit is designed to boot a server. The removable storage unit, which is for example a memory card, comprises a non-writable storage, which stores a boot-loader and reference installation files, and a writable secondary storage, which is designed to store installation files. The boot-loader checks a data content of the secondary storage and a data content of a primary storage of the server. In case the secondary storage is not empty and the primary storage is either empty or comprises a different data content than the secondary storage, the boot-loader stores the data content of the secondary storage in the primary storage of the server.
