Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)

The cPCI-6510 series supports the Intel® Preboot Execution Envi-

ronment (PXE) that is capable of booting up or executing an OS

installation through an Ethernet port. To use PXE, there must be a

DHCP server on the network with one or more servers running

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
