Configuring PCs for Network Boot A client PC may have PXE installed, but it may not be enabled by the BIOS. Most PCs support the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS), or other methods that let you order the PC's boot devices from a BIOS setup screen. To perform a network boot each time the PC is powered on, select PXE as the first boot device. Some BBS systems also support Network Service Boot (NSB). With NSB, you can set PXE lower in the boot order. A message, such as "Press F12 to boot from network" will appear while the PC boots. In this way, you can use PXE only when then need arises. If the PC doesn't allow ordering of the boot devices, there is usually a method within PXE to switch between local and network booting. With a Argon Managed PC Boot Agent boot ROM, you can set the default boot method in the built-in configuration screen or by using a configuration utility. |
