How can I boot from LAN?

INDEX


What about UEFI mode?

Enter your BIOS. Under the Advanced menu select the Network Stack Configuration submenu and enable the Network Stack option.

 A new menu will appear. From here, enable the PXE Support you desire. In the example below, we enabled both Ipv4 and Ipv6 PXE Support.

Save this configuration and exit.

Now enter your BIOS again. The network drives will now be displayed under the Advanced menu, and from the Save&Exit menu you can select the bootable device.

From Boot menu you are allowed to specify both the general boot priority and the network drives' ones.

Save this configuration and exit. A new window will automatically open confirming the completion of the operation.


What about Legacy mode?

Enter your BIOS. Under the Advanced menu select the Network Stack Configuration submenu and enable the Network Stack option.

 A new menu will appear. From here, enable the PXE Support you desire. In the example below, we enabled both Ipv4 and Ipv6 PXE Support.

From the Advanced menu go to the CSM Configuration submenu and enable the CSM Support option.

Now a new menu will appear. Set:

  • Legacy only in Boot option filter;

  • Legacy in Network option;

  • Legacy in Video option.

From Boot menu, set LEGACY in Boot mode select.

Save this configuration and exit. A network drive is now in the list of connected and bootable devices and from Boot menu you can change both the general boot and the network drives’ ones. Select the one you desire, then save and exit.
A new window will automatically open confirming the completion of the operation.
