Install Windows Server 2008 (PXE)

The following procedure applies to Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2.


Note - The power-on messages and prompts occur quickly and might appear on the screen for a brief time. You might want to enlarge the size of the screen to eliminate scroll bars.


  1. Reset or power on the server, from one of the following:
    • From the Oracle ILOM web interface, on the Remote Power Control tab, select Reset.

    • From the local server, press the Power button on the front panel of the server for approximately 1 second to power off the server, and then press the Power button again to power on the server.

  2. Press F8 to specify a temporary boot device.

    The Please Select Boot Device screen appears.

  3. In the Please Select Boot Device screen, select the appropriate PXE installation boot device, and press Enter.

    Note - The PXE installation boot device is the physical network port used to communicate with the network installation server.

    The Boot Agent screen appears.


  4. In the Boot Agent screen, press F12 for a network service boot.
  5. Continue the normal Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 WDS network installation.

    For additional information, consult Microsoft Windows Deployment Services product documentation.

  6. When the installation is complete, perform any necessary post installation tasks.
