C • Remote Booting
The CPCI-7806/CPCI-7806RC currently includes a Boot-from-LAN BIOS option
which allows the SBC to be booted from a network.
The older versions of the CPCI-7806/CPCI-7806RC include a
Managed PC Boot
Agent
(MBA) option which allows the CPCI-7806/CPCI-7806RC to be booted from
a network.
This appendix describes the procedures to enable these options and to select a
LAN connection as the boot device.
C.1 Boot-from-LAN BIOS Option
