# Uploading OS Images

## Prerequisites

- Image upload and deployment performance depend on network bandwidth and storage backend performance.
- File permissions on shared storage must allow Morpheus read access.
- OS images must be bootable and compatible with the target bare metal hardware.
- Server reboots and virtual media behavior depend on hardware management interfaces (for example, iLO).
