5.3 Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The cPCI-6760DK/P5 series supports Intel Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE), which provides the capability of boot-up or executing an OS
installation through the Ethernet ports. There should be a DHCP server in
the network with one or more servers running PXE and MTFTP services. It
could be a Windows NT or Windows 2000 server running DHCP, PXE and
MTFTP service or a dedicated DHCP server with one or more additional
server running PXE and MTFTP service. This section describes the major
items required for building a network environment with PXE support.
1. Setup a DHCP server with PXE tag configuration.
2. Install the PXE and MTFTP services
3. Make boot image file on PXE server (that is the boot server).
4. Enable the PXE boot function on the client computer.
