8. OS Installation 

 

8.1. 

Installation using Chelsio NIC DUD (PXE only) 

 This is the recommended method for installing Linux OS using Chelsio PXE boot. The 

Chelsio Driver Update Disk (DUD) has support for all the new adapters. Use Network Boot (PXE 
Boot)  media  to  install  the  OS,  and  provide  the  Driver  Update  Disk  as  per  the  detailed 
instructions for each OS. 

The  DUD  supports  installation  of  Linux  distributions  using  Chelsio  adapters  over 

Network. There may be built-in Chelsio driver in these distributions. The driver may or may not 
work with Chelsio adapters, depending on the adapter in use, and the version of the driver that 
shipped in that particular distribution. Please flash the firmware provided in the package.
