4 Generate a system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC configuration profile
from the optimally configured source system. Copy the generated
configuration files to a read/write share onto the workstation or server.
NOTE: You can obtain the system BIOS, BMC, RAID, and/or RAC configuration
files by booting from DTK Linux ISO image and running the syscap.sh,
raidcap.sh, and raccap.sh scripts.
5 Create an operating system answer file that contains unattended operating
system software installation information.
6 Install an operating system on a Target Server .
Deploying
To proceed with deployment, ensure that you have prepared all scripts, files,
and utilities. You can deploy the Win PE and embedded Linux using one of
the following methods:
• Deploy using removable boot media with a network connection
(media-based)
• Deploy using removable boot media without a network connection
(media-based)
• Network-based deployment (remote)
For information on these methods, see the Dell OpenManage Deployment
Toolkit User’s Guide

Upgrading Your DTK Version
When upgrading from a previous release of DTK, ensure that you create the
environment for new DTK version separately from the previous version. This
step is necessary because the environments and requirements for the new
DTK versions are completely different.
