Hello,

Have you configured the BIOS setup on this machine so that the PXE boot is enabled and the network port is setup as the primary boot device? These settings are different from manufacturer to manufacturer, so you may want to consult the motherboard users guide / manual.

Has the host server been setup with DHCP and other necessary services, plus the loading of preboot OS images for use?
