94 English
Remote Boot on Windows NT 3.5x AS (RPL)
CAUTION Make sure your computer supports this protocol.
This section explains how to setup the remote boot service on a Windows NT server
to boot client PCs equipped with an HP Ethernet Family Adapter.
The installation and setting up of the Remote Boot service is described in Windows
NT 3.5x online installation help.
The procedure below is based on the INSTALL.HLP HELP file, except that step 4
has been added for the correct automatic setup of the HP Ethernet Family Adapter
so that you do not have to do the setup described in “Creating Remoteboot
Configurations for New Adapters” in the INSTALL.HLP documentation.
Installation Procedure
To install the remote boot service to boot HP Ethernet Family Adapter clients:
1 Install the Remoteboot service:
a In Control Panel, choose the Network icon.
b If the DLC protocol isn't already installed, in the Network settings dialog box,
choose Add Software button, and install the DLC protocol.
c In the Network settings dialog box, choose Add Software button. Select the
Remoteboot Service. Assuming that your NT default directory is
\WINNT35
,
install it in
\WINNT35\RPL
directory.
2 To install MS-DOS files for remoteboot workstations:
a Check that the
RPL\RPLFILES
directory is shared on the remoteboot server. It
should have the share name RPLFILES.
b Copy all the MS-DOS files, including the system files
io.sys
and
msdos.sys
,
to the
RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOSxxx
directory, where xxx is the version
number (supported version are 330, 401, 500, 600, 622). The file
ibmdos.com
should be renamed as
msdos.sys
, and
ibmbio.com
as
io.sys
.
c Remove any attributes such as S, A, H from your system files.
