Changing BIOS settings on NAC hardware devices to PXE boot

This article applies to:

• NAC X model
• NAC M model

Question:

• How can I change BIOS settings on NAC to PXE boot?

Procedure:

With factory settings, pressing F12 during boot should boot from the network. If this doesn't happen changes must be made in the BIOS.

1. To alter BIOS settings, press the Delete key during boot.
2. In BIOS make sure that BIOS settings allow booting from the network: Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> Onboard G-LANX OPROM Configure is ENABLED
   
   
   
   
3. Change boot order (in Boot tab) so "PCI BEV: IBA GE" is at the top (use instructions provided on the screen). You can also one time boot from the network by pressing F12 during the boot process.
   
   
4. After the changes you should see the following screen (and then information about requesting IP from DHCP server) when the device  starts booting from the network:

The information above should be used only to start the reimaging process (SiS)
