Secure Digital Card Slot on G6 Series blades?

[BNewby]

Curiosity has overcome me. Why do we see a SD slot on our bl460c g6's?

What can we use this for now and in the future? Is it a feature? Can we boot to SD?

HP version of Citrix XenServer installs seamlessly to a 2GB SD Card. If you're doing something other than VMWare or XenServer I believe the current maximum size is 32GB which might be good enough for your situation.
