## How to Create the SIA Image and Prepare for PXE Boot

Before You Begin

- You must have already set up your PXE infrastructure, see Set Up the PXE Infrastructure.

- You must have already obtained the `sia_netboot.zip` file, see Obtain the SIA PXE Image Files.

1. On the PXE TFTP server, create a new subdirectory for the SIA image.

   For example, the following command line creates a subdirectory in the default TFTP server root to contain the SIA image:

   `# mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/sia`

2. Extract the contents of `sia_netboot.zip` to the directory on the TFTP server you created for your SIA image.
3. Use an editor to modify your PXE configuration file (the default name for this file is `pxelinux.cfg`) to add the necessary references to your SIA image.

   Refer to the examples in `sample-pxe.cfg` file. Modify them as necessary for your setup.

Next Steps

To boot the SIA image from the PXE environment, follow the steps presented in How to Boot SIA From a PXE Server for an Attended Installation.
