5. If you want to deploy an image to a device that is a different hardware platform from the source
device, select Allow Cross Platform Imaging. This option only applies to WES, and you need to
make sure the image can work well on the target device.
6. Click the Save as button to save the template with a new name.
7. Drag and drop the template onto the devices to which you want to deploy the image. The Task
Editor dialog box will appear, allowing you to edit the same options you were presented with in
the Template Editor.
8. Click OK to deploy the image to the devices.
NOTE: There will be an automatic BIOS update during a Deploy Image task to install WES7 SP1 on
the t5740 or t5740e. The factory BIOS version is 1.03 on the t5740 and t5740e, and WES7 SP1
requires version 1.04.

Imaging with PXE
Imaging with PXE requires an HPDM Gateway (which includes a PXE server) to be installed in the
same subnet as the target devices. The benefit of imaging with PXE is that the device’s operating
system is not required to be running during an image deployment, meaning you can deploy an image
to a device with a corrupted operating system.
TIP: Some additional configurations might be required for PXE imaging. If you experience problems
with PXE imaging, see
Configuring your environment for PXE imaging on page 53.
Capturing an image with PXE
To capture an image with PXE:
1. Select the Task Templates tab, and double-click the _PXE Capture template.
2. Input an image name and a description.
3. Click Save as to save the template.
A new PXE Capture template will be listed in the Task Templates tab.
4. Drag the template onto a device, and then input a result template name. Click OK to send this
PXE Capture task to a device.
