NOTE:
To use this setting:
â—¦ Configure the pre-boot network settings to access the URL location.
â—¦ Leave the boot mode set to UEFI Boot Mode.
When booting from an ISO file, use a file that the system can use to boot a preliminary operating system
environment, such as WinPE, mini-Linux, or VMware ESX installer. Doing so enables further installation to
proceed over an OS network connection. ISO files that contain the full OS installation media are not
supported.
