Remote Boot ROM

Booting Your PC From a Server

You may want to boot up your PC from a remote server on the network, or

you may have a PC without a boot diskette or a disk drive and need to boot

up from a remote server. To boot the PC from a server, you need to:

❏ Install the Remote Boot ROM on the EtherPaC 2000+

adapter

❏ Install Novell NetWare software on the network

❏ Prepare the PC

❏ Prepare the server

Boot ROM allows you to load the PC operating system over the network.

Installing the Boot ROM

You install the Boot ROM in the ROM socket of the EtherPaC 2000+ adapter.

Note: If the EtherPaC 2000+ adapter is installed in the PC and con-

nected to the network, turn off the PC, then disconnect and

remove the adapter.

1 Take the Boot ROM out of its protective packaging and check all

pins on the ROM to make sure none are bent.

2 Locate the socket for the Boot ROM on the adapter.

3 Align the Boot ROM’s notch and pins with the socket’s notch and

pins.
