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. ■ Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs. ■ Remotely updating the system BIOS in flash ROM. See Section 3.4.1, "Remote ROM Flash." ■ Configuring the system BIOS settings. To initiate Remote System Installation, press F12 when the F12 = Network Service Boot message appears in the lower-right corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the instructions on the screen to continue the process. The default boot order is a BIOS configuration setting that can be changed to always attempt to PXE boot. HP and Altiris have partnered to provide tools designed to make the task of corporate PC deployment and management easier and less time-consuming, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership and making HP PCs the most manageable client PCs in the enterprise environment. 3-2 390812-001 Service Reference Guide, dx7200
