Choosing an installation environment
The installation environment consists of the server model, the OS edition, a local console
or a remote console, and the media you need to perform the installation. In addition to
installing from Smart Setup and Microsoft RTM media or Re-installation media, you can
automate the installation of Windows Server 2003 using a Remote Installation Service
(RIS) server on the network and a Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE) client on the
HP Integrity server.
Table 1-1 lists the HP Integrity server models, the OS edition supported on those models,
the console options, and relevant media choices.
