Appendix G. Configuring PXE Boot for NIC on
Dell OCe10100-based Systems
This section describes how to use the PXESelect utility to set up a PXE bootable
network by configuring your Dell OCe10100-based controllers.
Note: For Dell OCe14000-based adapters, see appendix H., “Configuring PXE Boot for
NIC on Dell OCe14000-based Systems,” on page 1791.
For more information on the PXE protocol, the PXE Boot process, and remotely
installing with PXE on different operating systems, see chapter 2., “Configuring PXE
Boot for NIC on LPe16202, OCe10100, and OCe11100-series Adapters,” on page 1516.
Running the PXESelect Utility
To run the PXESelect utility, start or restart your computer. When prompted, hold
down <Ctrl> and press <P>. If you are running the PXESelect utility with multiple
controllers, all your controllers are displayed when you start the utility. For example:
Press <Ctrl><P> for PXESelect(TM)Utility
Controller#0 Port#0 Base 0xFCE60000 at Bus:05 Dev:00 Fun:00
Controller#0 Port#1 Base 0xFCEA0000 at Bus:05 Dev:00 Fun:01
Controller#1 Port#0 Base 0xFC920000 at Bus:01 Dev:00 Fun:00
Controller#1 Port#1 Base 0xFC960000 at Bus:01 Dev:00 Fun:01
- Initializing ...Done.
The PXE Configuration menu appears after the boot BIOS initializes to begin your PXE
configuration.
Note: A UEFI-capable system typically does not display the prompt for running the
PXESelect utility unless it is configured for legacy booting. See your system
configuration manual for information on performing a legacy boot. All
configuration that can be performed in the PXESelect utility can instead be
performed in the UEFI configuration utility. See appendix F., “Dell UEFI,” on
page 1762 for more information.
