Boot Over the Network (PXE)

PXE network boot is an environment for booting computers using a network interface independently of available data storage devices (such as hard disks) or installed OS. No boot media is required on the client system. With PXE, you can install an OS on an x86-based client over the network by using DHCP.

• Boot over the network using PXE.
