PXE Boot

PXE boot code is a part of the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter multi-boot image that allows a networked server to boot with the images provided by remote servers.

Prerequisites for PXE Boot

PXE boot requires the following:

A client server with a PXE-compliant BIOS or UEFI implementation and a QLogic 8100 Series Adapter installed. This server will boot through PXE with Microsoft Windows.

A DHCP or proxy DHCP server that can provide an IP address and boot server list to the client server.

A PXE boot server to deliver the PXE execution environment and the operating system images to the client server. It is possible to configure a single physical server as both a DHCP and a boot server.

The following tasks must be completed in sequence to enable a networked server to boot with the images provided by remote servers across the network using PXE boot.
