Relion 1900e/2900e Manual
Revision 1.0 90

The mounted device is visible to (and usable by) managed system’s OS and BIOS in both pre-boot
and post-boot states.

The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the BIOS boot
order to boot from this remote device.

It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no OS present) using the remotely
mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to configure the OS during install.
USB storage devices will appear as floppy disks over media redirection. This allows for the installation of
device drivers during OS installation.
If either a virtual IDE or virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, both the virtual IDE
and virtual floppy are presented as bootable devices. It is not possible to present only a single-mounted
device type to the system BIOS.
