The x86 server blade system BIOS only recognizes that at least one Virtualized NEM M2 is available as a network boot device. If more than one Virtualized M2 NEMs is installed, only one Virtualized M2 NEM device is displayed in the BIOS boot list
The Virtualized M2 NEM is designed to boot from the first detected PXE server. If there are two NEMs in the chassis, and both are connected to a PXE server, you must use MAC address assignment booting to boot from the correct NEM.
If you plan to use the F12 network booting method, follow the instructions in these two procedures:
If you plan to use the F8 network booting method, follow the instructions in How to Use the F8 Key to Boot Off the PXE Server.
