An overview of how network booting works is available in the section on making configuration decisions for Ignite-UX servers in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide, and in the Ignite-UX Installation Booting white paper. Both documents can be found at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html

NOTE: Your Ignite-UX server is now set up but is not enabled to install any systems. See Chapter 2 (page 15) to add clients to an Ignite-UX server and then install HP-UX on them.
