After installing the Remote Annex software on the file server host,

The Remote Annex needs these parameters to perform an initial boot
when loading the software. Enter these parameters into the EEPROM
using the ROM monitor commands, which are accessed through a
service port terminal. See Chapter 3 for more information about these
commands.
The Remote Annex supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) and the
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) which can be used to
obtain some of the information listed. If you have a host running
BootP or RARP to serve the Remote Annex the information, the server
will boot without user intervention. For more information about
using these protocols, see Auto-initializing the Remote Annex starting
on page 2-21. Initializing and Booting from a Host System, starting on
