Remote System Installation
Remote System Installation allows you to start and set up the system
using the software and configuration information located on a
network server by initiating the Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE). The Remote System Installation feature is usually used as a
system setup and configuration tool, and can be used for the following
tasks:
■ Formatting a hard drive
■ Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs
■ Remotely updating the system BIOS in flash ROM (“Remote
ROM Flash” on page 13)
■ Configuring the system BIOS settings
To initiate Remote System Installation, press
F12 when the
F12 = Network Service Boot message appears in the lower-right
corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the instructions on the screen
to continue the process. The default boot order is a BIOS
configuration setting that can be changed to always attempt to PXE
boot.
HP and Altiris have partnered to provide tools designed to make the
task of corporate PC deployment and management easier and less
time-consuming, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership and
making HP PCs the most manageable client PCs in the enterprise
environment.
