Options may appear or disappear from this screen depending on your selections. The screen is broken into two
main sections; one for configuring the

Client network boot options

and one for configuring the

Client network

install options

. The setting for the Install Mode at the top of the screen determines whether or not the Client

network install options section will appear.

The following fields are used to configure the client to boot from a

boot server

:

1. Install mode: You must select here whether you want to perform a no-prompt or menu-driven

installation:

a. By

selecting

No-prompt, the client will be installed without entering any information on the

client. This is referred to as a

no-prompt install

. If selected, all of the remaining prompts must

be filled in.

b. If

Menus (set defaults) is selected, you will be provided the additional prompts now, all of

which are optional. The information you provide will appear as defaults on the client after it is
booted, but those options may also be changed on the client.

c. If

Menus (no-defaults) is selected, it is assumed that and all install options will be selected

from the client install menus once it is booted. When selected, all remaining options will
disappear from the screen as they no longer apply.

2. Server to boot from: If the server in this field is incorrect, use the arrow button to list and select a

different server from which to boot from. By default, the boot server is assumed to be the install server
as well. However, the

install server

may be changed as described later. If updating an image and you

choose to change the boot server, the image on the old boot server will be automatically disabled.

If the boot server was configured with an

Alternate Server Network

, then a drop-down list will be

available for you may select to boot the client using this alternate network.
