Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart

3.4.5 Starting Remote Installation Using a PXE Server

Perform remote installation using a PXE server in the following procedures.

■ Checking the Network Startup (PXE) Setting

Remote installation using a PXE server is performed via the onboard LAN. Enable the network startup

(PXE) of the target server.

For more details on network startup, refer to "2.1.2 Hardware Settings" ( pg.44).

■ Checking the MAC Address of the Onboard LAN

In remote installation, target servers are identified according to the MAC address. MAC addresses are

unique information to LAN cards. Check the MAC address on each target server. Write down the MAC

address of the onboard LAN. For details on how to check the MAC address of an onboard LAN, refer to

"2.1.2 Hardware Settings" ( pg.44).

■ Creating a Configuration File

You can create a configuration file on a client computer before starting installation. For the procedure,

refer to "3.2.1 Starting Up the Preconfiguration Mode" ( pg.73) and "3.2.2 Configure Settings in

Wizards" ( pg.76).

When creating a configuration file on the PXE server, start installation.

Specify the shared name prepared instead of the local CD-ROM as installation information.
