PXE booting a Dell

• Getting PXE boot to work on Dell machines presented problems as there was no obvious way in BIOS to enable PXE. The internet provided the solution:
o Enter BIOS
o Go to Security Settings
o Disable the Deny PXE boot option.
o Return to main BIOS screen
o Enter Integrated Peripherals screen
o On network card settings, press right arrow to add the ‘pxe’ boot option to the setting
o Exit and save settings
• Dell machines caused a small error with the installation script due to an extra ISDN card requiring installation.
