7.2 Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The cPCI-6965 series supports the Intel® Preboot Execution Envi-
ronment (PXE) that is capable of booting up or executing an OS
installation through an Ethernet ports. To use PXE, there must be
a DHCP server on the network with one or more servers running
PXE and MTFTP services. It could be a Windows® 2003 server
running DHCP, PXE, and MTFTP services or a dedicated DHCP
server with one or more additional servers running PXE and
MTFTP services.
To build a network environment with PXE support:
1. Setup a DHCP server with PXE tag configuration
2. Install the PXE and MTFTP services
3. Make a boot image file on the PXE server (i.e. the boot server)
4. Enable the PXE boot function on the client computer
