you'd need a remote console of some sort on that box. many brand name
servers have these, HP calls it iLO, Dell calls it DRAC, etc. these
have their own ethernet port, which has to be connected to the network
and configured. you'd also need a PXE server on the same network
segment to do a jumpstart install from, or use a virtual CD with that
remote console (slow if you're not onsite)
Barring that, I think you are SOL.
