Remote System Installation

Asset Tracking and
Security
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:
Installing the optional Setup partition. The partition should
be installed only if you wish to use the previous generation
of Compaq Computer Setup and Diagnostics utilities.
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 Compaq logo screen. Follow the instructions on
the screen to continue the process.
Compaq AssetControl features incorporated into the
workstation provide key asset tracking data that can be
managed using Compaq Insight Manager products and
Management Solutions Partners products. Seamless, automatic
integration between AssetControl features and these products
enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to
your environment and to leverage your investment in existing
tools.
Compaq workstations are manufactured with the hardware and
firmware required to fully support the DMI 2.0 standard.
