I think it is possible to install the ISO distribution remotely is there are disks and partitions available for the install, and then manually configure the installation to properly reboot. However, this is technically challenging and risky, therfore not recommended. To do as you are asking, you would need to be "perfect" and "very skillful and experienced" in you remote install and configuration. One highly possible mistake or omission and you will need physical access to rebuild.

There are simply too many things to configure that could go wrong and cause the remote box not to boot properly or permit remote access upon reboot.

Possible? Yes. Advisable? No.

Go to the box and do the install from the console!!
