Booting from USB Disk
If the host computer’s BIOS supports USB boot devices, it is possible to boot from the
emulated CD-ROM or floppy. This allows complete operating system replacement
without any on-site intervention.
The first step is getting a bootable disk image onto the emulated floppy or CD-ROM.
For CD-ROM images, you will need an ISO image from a disk that contains special bits
to enable boot (“El Torito” standard). Nothing special is needed when reading the ISO
from a working, bootable CD-ROM. To create a bootable floppy, you can format the
emulated floppy from the target system, or read the data from a working boot floppy.
This can be done from Windows using Disk Copy (right click on the drive letter in the
Windows Explorer) or by using a program like “RAWRITE”.
Once you have a bootable image (CD-ROM or floppy) working on the Server Remote
Control unit, you must adjust your BIOS settings to tell it to boot from a USB device.
NOTE: You must select USB CD-ROM as the boot device for the BIOS, if using a CD-ROM
image and USB Floppy if using a floppy image.
Clicking on Logout will terminate your Web Interface section. To re-initiate the Web
Interface, you will be required to re-enter your username and password.
To launch or disconnect a Virtual Network connection with the controlled computer,
click on Connect or Disconnect as appropriate.
