If you attempt to deploy an OS on a server with no installed drives, the server reboots and, after POST, a page is displayed indicating that the settings are being applied. The deployment does not proceed, but messages are written to the IML.

For Windows installations, messages about an untested Windows version and hpkeyclick messages might be displayed while the drivers are installed. This is expected behavior. No action is required.
