Boot image download speed
The default TFTP block size setting of SCCM 2012 SP1 may result in slow download times of the boot image during PXE
booting. You should change this setting if you experience such performance issues.
To adjust this setting, perform the following:
1. Open the registry editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP.
Note
Be sure to back up the registry before making changes.
3. Create a new DWORD value with the name RamDiskTFTPBlockSize, and specify a larger value such
as 0x2000 (8192).
Note
Be sure to test the new value before deploying this setting widely. For more guidance on setting and adjusting this
value, consult the appropriate Microsoft documentation.
After deployment
To be able to easily view and edit BIOS settings on the HP ElitePad 900, install the HP BIOS Settings utility available from
hp.com here.
