Booting up the target PCs

1. Boot the target PCs from bootable media, PXE or RIS.
2. Select Acronis Snap Deploy Agent in the boot menu.
Acronis Snap Deploy Agent can be configured to start automatically after several
seconds to provide fully unattended deployment. You can configure it when creating
bootable media, using a RIS package, or uploading the agent to a PXE server.
3. A dialog box comes up suggesting that you configure Acronis Snap Deploy
Agent.
If there is no DHCP server in your network, the target computer will not be
able to connect to the network after booting Acronis Snap Deploy Agent
automatically. To enable a connection, enter the Acronis Snap Deploy Agent
configuration menu by clicking Yes in a prompt window that comes up at boot
