C • Appendix C: Remote Booting
The V7768/V7769 include a Boot-from-LAN BIOS option which allows the SBCs
to be booted from a network. This appendix describes the procedures to enable
this option and to select a LAN connection as the boot device.
NOTE
The options listed in this appendix may not be available on your system.
C.1 Enabling the Front Panel (FP) LAN
The LAN must be enabled in the Boot Setup Utility in order to perform a remote
boot. The board will only remotely boot from the front panel LAN connection.
The Chipset menu of the BIOS Setup Utility allows the LAN to be enabled.
Table C-1 shows the Chipset Menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Onboard
Devices Configuration. Select Onboard FP LAN and enter <+> until the option is set
to Enabled. Press
F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup Utility. This will allow the
LAN to be a boot device.
