Install Linux on remote server from Windows PC
I am very new with servers and have never used Linux. The server I'm looking at is not currently connected to anything, and I wish to install Linux on this server. It doesn't have a monitor (no video card) or keyboard. It does have a DVD. Can I communicate with that server using a Windows PC to start the process of installing Linux?
Or is there another method for communicating with the server to get the OS installed? Sorry for the extremely simple questions. Id appreciate help if someone doesn't mind going down to basics with me.
Thank you ahead of time.

NAME
pwrkap_aggregate - Present a large number of pwrkap servers as if they were one
SYNOPSIS
pwrkap_aggregate config_file
DESCRIPTION
pwrkap_aggregate is a daemon that connects to a multitude of pwrkap servers and power control domains, and presents them as if they were
one server with a smaller number of domains. By aggregating pwrkap server instances, it is possible to monitor many thousands of servers
without overworking the command console. It is also possible to give identical class designations to a group of pwrkap servers and manage
them as an aggregate.
OPTIONS
config_file
Text file mapping pwrkap servers to aggregated domains. See pwrkap_aggregate(5) for information about the config file format.
