1. Answer Yes. MBAFLASH completes the process.
2. When MBAFLASH is complete run the MBACFG utility to verify that MBA options are
correct for your requirements. Options are shown in the configuration tables in this
chapter.
Command Line Options
Although you can use MBAFLASH interactively, you can also automate some of the process
using command line options. This feature is helpful if you wish to use MBAFLASH as part of a
batch file. The command line options are:
Usage: mbaflash [.ROM Filename] [/?] [/p] [/b]
options:
.ROM Filename - filename of a .ROM file that you wish to program into your ROM
chip. Refer to “ Updating your MBA ROM ” later in this chapter.
Required only if you want a different version of MBA than the one
contained within MBAFLASH.EXE, e.g., to revert to the previous
version using the .ROM file created by MBAFLASH in step 2 above.
/? - show this help
/p - display no prompts
/b - do not create a backup of current ROM contents

MBA 4.x is comprised of two components—the MBA base code and the Universal Network
Device Interface (UNDI). The MBA base code handles all the core functionality of MBA such
as protocol handling, network boot failure handling, etc. It is independent of the type of NIC
being used. The UNDI handles the interface with the specific NIC. It provides NIC
initialization, low-level transmit and receive functionality, etc. The MBA base code uses the
UNDI to interface with the NIC. Other base code modules could also use the UNDI to obtain
low-level transmit and receive functionality with the specific NIC.
In MBA 4.x, it is the UNDI that acts as the boot device. When executed, the MBA UNDI uses
either of the following:
The MBA base code that accompanies it when both the UNDI and base code are
included together in a ROM on a NIC or in the PC's BIOS
Another PXE-compliant base code that the MBA UNDI tries to locate and use (which
could reside in the PC's BIOS) if MBA is in a ROM on a NIC and the MBA base code is
disabled
