Support for PXE boot

Pre-conditions for Customers Deployment Scenario

The following guidance is required for IT admin to consider in preparation of the Custom image. Samsung is going to provide the drivers package which consists of three parts as below.

1.INF drivers

2.Non-INF drivers

3.Some essential applications

-Samsung Update is required to be installed. Some of the drivers can’t be delivered as the INF drivers. In addition, some applications, such as Samsung System Agent, are required for the best life-time of Samsung AMOLED display panel.

-All the “Essential” items are required to be installed to ensure stability and improved performance of the system.

-It’s recommended to update all the “Essential” items in Samsung Update to the latest when you create the Custom image to deploy to client PCs. This is beneficial to the individual users because they don’t have to install the items. It’s still recommended for the individuals to update the items regularly to get any upcoming stability fixes.

-We strongly recommend not deleting Samsung Update application for above reasons because non-INF drivers and applications cannot be updated by Windows Update but only by Samsung Update.

What is PXE boot?

In computing, the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) specification describes a standardized client- server environment that boots a software assembly, retrieved from a network, on PXE-enabled clients. On the client side it requires only a PXE-capable network interface controller (NIC), and uses a small set of industry-standard network protocols such as DHCP and TFTP.

Ethernet Adapter for PXE

For TabPro S, booting from the network (PXE boot) is only supported when you use an Ethernet adapter from Belkin. To boot from the network, the chipset in the Ethernet adapter must be detected and configured as a boot device in the BIOS of the TabPro S.

Please refer to below [Table 1].

BIOS installation file - WIN_P06HAB_000_ME_11_0_5_1000_PXEBoot.zip (ver. P06HAB)

1.Unpack zip file and execute it then BIOS will be updated. The version from P06HAB will be working.

2.P07HAB version has been applied on Samsung Update officially.

You are able to get updated PXE boot file through the system without separate installation.

How to do PXE boot

1.Enter BIOS menu by pressing F2 when Galaxy TabPro S logo appears after power-on.

2.Go to Boot panel in BIOS menu and enable PXE OPROM option.

3.Change the boot order in Boot Device Priority menu to USB Network adapter.
