PXE configuration: HP NC-series Broadcom and Multifunction
adapters
NOTE:
PXE is not supported on the NC150T adapter.
The Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) of HP adapters has been upgraded to allow PXE functions to
work with the HP ProLiant servers.
The HP NC32xx, NC37xx, NC380x, NC1020, NC6770, and NC77xx Gigabit Server Adapters have
PXE support. PXE is a software protocol that allows your networked computer to boot with the images
provided by remote servers across the network. PXE operates in a client/server environment. A network
consists of one or more boot servers that provide boot images to multiple computers through the network.
The PXE driver complies with the PXE-2.1 specification. The PXE driver is released with both monolithic
and split binary images. This feature provides flexibility to users in different environments in which the
motherboard may or may not have built-in base-code.
