Chapter 9 Incorporate Sun Fire Drivers Into a WIM or RIS Image 83
Once configured, the RIS image contains the Windows Server 2003 operating system
(you can configure either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version) and the server-specific
drivers that are included on the Tools and Drivers CD/DVD for the server.
Note – A RIS image can be installed on any computer that contains a network
adapter that supports PXE DHCP-based boot ROM. The Sun Fire server module has
this type of network adapter.
▼ To Install the RIS Image on a Client System
1. Verify that the network adapter is set as the primary boot device in the
computer BIOS.
2. Restart the client computer from the network adapter.
3. When you are prompted to do so, press F12 to start the download of the Client
Installation Wizard.
4. At the Welcome screen, press Enter.
5. Type the user name of an account that has permissions to add computer
accounts to the domain, and then type the domain name and password for the
account and press Enter.
6. When you receive a warning message that states that all data on the client
computer hard disk will be deleted, press Enter.
Caution – The Solaris Operating System is preinstalled on the Sun Fire server boot
disk. The Windows installation will format the boot disk and all data will be lost.
7. A computer account and a global unique ID for this workstation are displayed.
8. Press Enter to start Setup.
9. If you are prompted to do so, follow the instructions on the screen to complete
the client operating system installation.
