the repository and copied over the network to the service partition, which acts
as the staging area for the complete Smart Image.
Note: At this point, a message is displayed stating that the deployment phase
is complete. The person controlling the deployment can either shut down
the computer at this point and ship it to another location, or continue
with the installation phase.
