Enable Remote Boot
If you have an Intel Desktop Adapter installed in your client computer, the flash ROM device is already
available in your adapter, and no further installation steps are necessary. For Intel Server Adapters, the flash
ROM can be enabled using the BootUtil utility. For example, from the command line type:
BOOTUTIL -E
BOOTUTIL -NIC=1 -FLASHENABLE
The first line will enumerate the ports available in your system. Choose a port. Then type the second line,
selecting the port you wish to enable. For more details, see the bootutil.txt file.
UEFI Network Device Driver for Intel
UEFI Network Stack
As of UEFI 2.1 there are two network stack configurations under UEFI. The most common configuration is the
PXE based network stack. The alternate network stack provides IPv4 TCP, UDP, and MTFTP network
protocol support. As of UEFI 2.1 the PXE and IP-based network stacks cannot be loaded or operate
simultaneously. The following two sections describe each UEFI network stack configuration.
Reference implementations of the PXE and IP based network stack source code are available for download at
www.tianocore.org.
Loading the UEFI Network Driver
The network driver can be loaded using the UEFI shell "load" command:
load e3040e2.efi
Configuring UEFI Network Stack for PXE
The PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) based UEFI network stack provides support for UEFI network
boot loaders downloaded from a WFM compliant PXE server. Services which can be enabled include
Windows Deployment Services (WDS), Linux network installation (Elilo), and TFTP file transfers. To enable
UEFI PXE services the following network protocol drivers must be loaded with: snp.efi, bc.efi, and
pxedhcp4.efi. These drivers can be loaded from the UEFI "load" shell command, but are often included as part
of the UEFI system firmware. The UEFI shell command "drivers" can be used to determine if the UEFI PXE
drivers are included in the UEFI implementation. The drivers command will output a table listing drivers loaded
in the system. The following entries must be present in order to network boot a UEFI system over PXE:
