Alternate Method of Selecting LAN Boot.

The boot process reveals an alternate method of accessing the Network (LAN Boot) if your monitor
powers up quickly enough. You will see a text line similar to the one shown below immediately after
the Press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup message displayed on screen.

Press F12 if you want to boot from the Network

If PXE Boot to LAN has been set to [Enabled], then you can use this feature to skip the other boot
devices and go immediately to the Network (PXE Boot Agent) to boot the system.

1. If you have not set PXE Boot to LAN to [Enabled], do so before continuing.

2. Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup.

This should reboot the system and you should see, however briefly, the PXE initialization
message shown earlier.

3. Press F12 to boot the system using the LAN boot (PXE) feature.

This selects the network (Onboard LAN or Network: IDA …) ahead of the other boot devices for
the current boot and you will see the text line change to the following message.

Network selected as first boot device for the current boot

Once this text message appears on screen, you should see the system going through the cycle of booting
from the Network shown earlier.
