Chapter 4 Setting Up the Remote Connection

Remote Boot Configuration

The HP TopTools Remote Control card is able to boot the server using a boot floppy image file located on a TFTP server (see Appendix C for detailed information about TFTP remote boot setup). This feature can also be configured at the remote client using the TopTools Remote Control web interface software.

To use the remote boot feature:

1.Set Remote Boot to "on." Note that once this is set, the NetServer will continue to attempt to boot off a remote boot image until you go back into the HP TopTools Remote Control BIOS setup program and set this option to "off."

2.Define the filename of the boot image.

3.Enter the IP Address of the TFTP server where the image file is located.

4.When you are finished running the HP TopTools Remote Control card’s BIOS Setup program, restart the NetServer and run the NetServer’s BIOS Setup program (typically, accessed by pressing F2 when prompted during the boot-up process). Be sure that the floppy drive is listed as a bootable device and is placed first in the boot order.
