Before You Begin
To deploy Windows 2012 using PXE, you need to first install Windows Deployment Service (WDS) on a Windows 2008 or a Windows 2012 server.
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 initiate a graceful shutdown and power off the server. Once powered off, press the Power button again to power on the server.
The Please Select Boot Device screen appears.
Note - The PXE installation boot device is the physical network port used to communicate with the network installation server.
The Boot Agent screen appears.
For additional information, consult Microsoft Windows Deployment Services product documentation.
