Which Fields Need
Updating?
You need to check, and update if necessary, all the fields that are
LAN-related.
The bulleted list given below gives guidelines on how to configure a
LAN interface. The field names used in your version of the
Setup
program may be slightly different to those shown below.
If you want to boot from the network:
•
Check that
Security
➜
Boot Devices Security
➜
Start from Network
is enabled.
•
Change the boot order so that Network appears first (
Advanced

NOTE
You can only boot a PC from the network if it has boot ROM integrated
in its BIOS (as with the HP Vectra VL Series 8 PC for example) or if it
contains an NIC with an embedded boot ROM chip.
On other platforms such as the HP Vectra VL Series 7, VE Series 7 or
Series 8 PCs, a boot ROM chip is needed in order to boot from the
network. This component can be ordered from 3Com.
If you want to wake up your PC from the network:
•
Check that the PC can be woken up from the network (

If you want to power on your PC from the network:
•
Check that the PC can be powered on from the network (
Power
➜
Power-On
➜
Network
[
