Intel Boot Agent Target/Server Setup
Overview
For the Intel® Boot Agent software to perform its intended job, there must be a server set up on the same
network as the client computer. That server must recognize and respond to the PXE or BOOTP boot protocols
that are used by the Intel Boot Agent software.
NOTE: When the Intel Boot Agent software is installed as an upgrade for an earlier version boot
ROM, the associated server-side software may not be compatible with the updated Intel Boot
Agent. Contact your system administrator to determine if any server updates are necessary.
Linux* Server Setup
Consult your Linux* vendor for information about setting up the Linux Server.
Windows* Deployment Services
Nothing is needed beyond the standard driver files supplied on the media. Microsoft* owns the process and
associated instructions for Windows Deployment Services. For more information on Windows Deployment
Services perform a search of Microsoft articles at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx
