Follow the WIM installation instructions in the Windows Server 2008 R2 documentation.
Add the required system device drivers to the WIM installation image.
For instructions, see Installing Supplemental Software.
Obtain the WIM administrator password.
From the ILOM web interface, launch the ILOM Remote Console from the Remote Control tab. Select "Control Alt Delete" from the Keyboard menu of the JavaRConsole.
