Hotkey Network Boot Override

Hotkey Network Boot Override provides the capability to select network card boot as the primary boot device, temporarily overriding any other boot device selections. To select the boot override, press the F12 function key (or Control-N from a remote session), without going into the BIOS Setup utility.

When the override is selected, BIOS attempts to boot from the first Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) device listed in the Setup Boot menu. If the PXE device is not bootable, the BIOS attempts to boot from the next device on the Setup Boot menu. BIOS continues going through the Setup Boot menu, sequentially, until either the end of the list is reached or the Max Boot Device to Attempt value is reached.
