  4. Click 8-bit color or 16-bit color, and then click Launch Redirection.

    Note - When you are using a Windows system for remote console redirection, an additional warning might appear after you click Launch Redirection. If the Hostname Mismatch dialog box is displayed, click the Yes button.

    The JavaRConsole screen appears.

  6. From the Devices menu, select the appropriate item based on the delivery method you have chosen.

    • Remote Physical Floppy Disk – Select Floppy to redirect the server to the physical floppy drive attached to the remote console.

    • Remote Floppy Image – Select Floppy Image to redirect the server to the floppy image file located on the remote console.

    • Remote Physical CD/DVD – Select CD-ROM to redirect the server to the CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive attached to the remote console.

    • Remote CD/DVD Image – Select CD-ROM Image to redirect the server to the .iso image file located on the remote console .


      Note - Using either of the CD/DVD options to install software on your server significantly increases the time necessary to perform the installation because the content is accessed over the network. The installation duration depends on the network connectivity and traffic.
