Each client PC computer should be equipped with a BIOS extension, called Wired for Management, or WfM. Among other things, a WfM extension contains an hardware abstraction layer, called Preboot eXecution Environment, or PXE.

The PXE software sends a DCHP-Request message to the network. A DHCP-server (or Rembo's build-in DHCPProxy) answers that the system should boot from a Rembo Server. The PXE software downloads the Rembo OS' overlay from the Rembo Server. It gets in execution and it loads and starts the Rembo OS.

Each target computer is assigned with a web page on the Rembo Server. The web page provides the initial display on the target computer. The Rembo Wizard's initial web page is called rembowiz.shtml ("s" for Server Side Includes). The page displays some version and IP-address information on the base screen, but its main function is to load The Rembo Wizard plug-in.

Once loaded, The Rembo Wizard program gets in execution and it takes control of the operations according to client computer specific configuration.
