Resource Server
In remote installation using a remote resource server, installation is performed using shared resources on
the remote resource server.

■ Configuring a Remote Floppy
A remote floppy is a shared folder for storing and using a configuration file on the network, instead of
loading it from the ServerStart floppy disk. When the server does not have a floppy disk drive and
installation is performed in guided mode/expert mode, use a remote floppy.

Create a new folder in the shared folder on the remote resource server.
E.g.: C:\export\ServerStart\Floppy

up Command Prompt and enter the following command.
C:\>copy nul C:\export\ServerStart\Floppy\"ServerStart Floppy Disk"

Start up "Command Prompt" on the remote resource server. Enter the following
and press the [Enter] key.
