SIP User's Manual 13. Installing Windows XP on the OSN Server
13 Installing Windows XP on the OSN Server
The embedded PC on Mediant 1000 (OSN module) can be ordered with Windows XP pre-
installed. However, if requested, the OSN server can be supplied without an installed
Windows operating system. This section provides step-by-step procedures on installing
Microsoft Windows XP on the OSN hard drive. (Although not tested, these procedures
should be applicable to Windows 2003.)
The mechanism used to install Windows on the OSN module is based on “unattended” or
“headless” mechanisms provided by the Microsoft OS. Several tools, both commercially
and freeware, exist that can assist in converting a Microsoft Windows installation CD into
an ISO image (*.iso file), which can be used for unattended installation. This guideline is
based on the freeware utility “Windows unattended CD creator” available from the following
website: http://www.vitaligraf.de/en/?Projects:Windows_Unattended_CD_Creator
.
