Select the setting you need to change with the arrow keys.
2. After you have accessed the setting you want to change, press the spacebar until the value appears.
3. After you have completed your changes, press the F4 key to update the adapter with the new values.
Any changed configuration values are applied as the boot process resumes.
If, during PXE boot, more than one adapter is installed in a computer and you want to boot from the boot
ROM located on a specific adapter, you can do so by removing the adapter from the BIOS Boot Order or
disabling the flash by running BootUtil -FlashDisable on the desired adapter.
Boot agent configuration settings
Configuration setting Possible value Description
Network Boot Protocol
PXE (Preboot eXecution
Environment)
Select PXE for use with network management
programs, such as LANDesk* Management

Sets the boot order in which devices are
selected during boot up if the computer does not
have its own control method.
If your client computers BIOS supports the BBS,
or allows PnP-compliant selection of the boot
order in the BIOS setup program, then this
setting will always be Use BIOS Setup Boot
Order and cannot be changed. In this case,
refer to the BIOS setup manual specific to your
client computer to set up boot options.
If your client computer does not have a BBS- or
PnP-compliant BIOS, you can select any one of
the other possible values listed for this setting
except for Use BIOS Setup Boot Order.
Legacy OS Wakeup Support.
(for 82559-based adapters
only)
0 = Disabled (default Value)
1 = Enabled
If set to 1, the Intel Boot Agent will enable PME
in the adapter’s PCI configuration space during
initialization. This allows remote wakeup under
legacy operating systems that don’t normally
support it. Note that enabling this makes the
adapter technically non-compliant with the
ACPI specification, which is why the default is
disabled.
Diagnostics information for pre-boot PXE or RPL environments
Anytime the configuration setup menu appears, diagnostics information also appears on the lower portion of
the screen.
Actual diagnostics information might vary, depending upon the adapters installed in your computer.
Diagnostics information might include the following items:
• PWA Number—The Printed Wire Assembly number identifies the adapter model and version.
• MAC Address—The unique Ethernet address assigned to the device.
• Memory—The memory address assigned by the BIOS for memory-mapped adapter access.
• I/O—The I/O port address assigned by the BIOS for I/O-mapped adapter access.
• IRQ—The hardware interrupt assigned by the system BIOS.
