Entering operating system information

Use the Operating System screens to enter OS information and installation settings. The included
fields are the same as those in the Recommended installation method.

Not all source media types are supported for every OS.
1.

Select an OS family.

2.

Enter the OS media path, which can be a Windows Share or an FTP site on the local network.

Based on this setting, the system automatically pulls the ISO from the specified location to
install it.

For a Windows share location, enter the following network connection settings:

Server Name or IP Address—Server name or IP address of the server that hosts the
OS contents. If a server name is specified, a DNS entry is also required.

Share Name—The name of the network share using Server Message Block (SMB)
protocol that hosts the OS contents.

Network Share User—User name used to access the network share.

Network Share Password—Password for the user name used to access the network
share.

For an FTP site, enter the following network connection settings:

Server Name or IP Address—FTP server name or IP address of the server that hosts
the OS contents. FTP support requires anonymous access to the FTP server and does
not support connecting to an FTP server through a proxy.

IMPORTANT:

When entering an FTP path, do not include spaces and punctuation. The

FTP server directory structure cannot contain spaces or special characters (including
punctuation).

3.

Enter the user name and password for the Deployment Settings package to use to access the
network share.

This password is not encrypted. For a more secure access method, use FTP.

4.

Select the OS and the keyboard language.

5.

Enter the product key.

If you do not enter a product key and one is required, the OS installation pauses indefinitely,
prompting you to enter the key. The installation resumes after you enter the product key.

6.

After clicking Deploy, verify that you are ready to create the new OS. Click Apply to install
the OS.

NOTE:

When the command is sent to iLO, the system will reboot. Disc drives that you had

previously deployed may be erased.

Entering Remote Support information

Use the Remote Support screen to enable or disable Central Connect Remote Support. Direct
Connect Remote Support is not supported with the Deployment Settings feature.
