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. [Emphasis added].
3. Further, at column 6, lines 35 through 47, Kamper
states the following:
If a configuration profile does not exist,
the server looks to a specific location for a
configuration profile on a smart card. This
specific location is based on a determination made
by the server of which devices are coupled to the
server. For example, the server may have settings
indicating an order in which devices are to be
searched for configuration profiles. This may be
similar to setting the boot sequence in BIOS with
conventional computers.
In response to finding a configuration profile on
the removable medium, in this example a smart
card, the smart card reader reads the
configuration profile data from the smart card and
stores it in the server. The server is thereby
configured for use in the appropriate network.
[Emphasis added].
With the above discussion in mind, we find that with regard
to representative claim 1, Kamper teaches a method for
configuring a plurality of servers using corresponding
configuration files located on a removable storage device.
Particularly, Kamper teaches that in order to determine the
location of a desired configuration profile, a server must first
determine which devices that it is coupled to. Then, the server
