Remote Resource/PXE Server Requirements
Notes on the PXE server
Check that no other PXE server exists on the same LAN.
Servers installed with software with the PXE function such as the Microsoft RIS function cannot be
used as a PXE server.
■
Checking Server Free Space
Decide a server to use as a remote resource server / PXE server and check it for enough free space for
storing resources.
●
Checking the Number of Servers
• When you have only one server, use it as the remote resource server, PXE server, and DHCP service
server. Check it for the required amount of free space.
• When you have multiple servers
• Check if a server performing the DHCP service exists. If not, decide a server for the DHCP
service.
• When there are multiple resources, they can be divided and stored in multiple remote resource
servers.
