7.2 Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The cPCI-3615 Series supports the Intel® Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE) that is capable of booting up or executing an
OS installation through an Ethernet ports. To use PXE, there must
be a DHCP server on the network with one or more servers run-
ning PXE and MTFTP services. It could be a Windows® 2003
server running DHCP, PXE, and MTFTP services or a dedicated
DHCP server with one or more additional servers running PXE
and MTFTP services.
To build a network environment with PXE support:
1. Setup a DHCP server with PXE tag configuration
2. Install the PXE and MTFTP services
3. Make a boot image file on the PXE server (i.e. the boot server)
4. Enable the PXE boot function on the client computer
