Screen Text looks like this.

pointing to them.

indented and look like this.
The control keys on your keyboard are represented like

Pre-Installation Steps

To prepare for installation you need the following:
IP address for the server
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Machine Name
Domain Name
NOTE It is not recommended to use DHCP to assign the IP information
of a server.
NOTE HP recommends that you create a boot disk by using the DOS
rawrite utility on the CD-ROM. For example, assuming your
CD-ROM is in the D: drive, you would type:
d: \dosutils\rawrite –f d:\images\boot.img
You may need this floppy later if you encounter problems
booting from the CD-ROM.
