Remote System Installation
Remote System Installation allows you to start and set up your system using the
software and configuration information located on a network server. 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
■ Installing an operating system
■ Installing application software or drivers
To initiate Remote System Installation, press F12 when the F12=Network
Service Boot message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Replicating Your Setup
This procedure gives an administrator the ability to easily copy one setup
configuration to other workstations of the same model. This enables faster,
more consistent configuration of multiple workstations. To replicate your setup:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
2. When you see the words “F10=Setup” appear in the bottom-right
corner of the screen, press F10.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you
must turn off the workstation, then on again to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select File, then select Save to Floppy and follow
the instructions on the screen.
4. To replicate the configuration, select File, then select Restore from
Floppy and follow the instructions on the screen.
