and configuration tool, and can be used for the following tasks:

To initiate Remote System Installation, press
message appears in the lower-right corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the instructions on the
screen to continue the process. The default boot order is a BIOS configuration setting that can be
changed to always attempt to PXE boot.
