Other Server Setup Information
For the Intel® Boot Agent software to perform its intended job, there must be a server set up on the same network as the client computer. That server must recognize and respond to the PXE or BOOTP boot protocols that are used by the Intel Boot Agent software.
The following topics describe the actions you should take to set up various types of servers to work with the Intel Boot Agent. If you have questions concerning the setup of your server system, contact the manufacturer of your server hardware or your server operating system vendor for assistance.

NOTE: When the Intel Boot Agent software is installed as an upgrade for an earlier version boot ROM, the associated server-side software may not be compatible with the updated Intel Boot Agent. Contact your system administrator to determine if any server updates are necessary. |
Consult your Linux* vendor for information about setting up the Linux Server.
An extensive list of hardware and software manufacturers provide products that support remote boot technology, conforming to the PXE /BOOTP/ DHCP protocols. For information about setting up servers, as well as about other remote boot-related products provided by these manufacturers, select Boot-Related Resources.
Nothing is needed beyond the standard driver files supplied on the media. Microsoft* owns the process and associated instructions for Windows Deployment Services.
