Starting the PXE boot agent utility program Complete the following steps to start the PXE boot agent utility program: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the Initializing Intel (R) Boot Agent Version X.X.XX PXE 2.0 Build XXX (WfM 2.0) prompt appears, press Ctrl+S. You have 2 seconds (by default) to press Ctrl+S after the prompt appears. 3.

Use the Start Options choice in the Configuration/Setup Utility program to specify the startup order of devices. v Show setup prompt Select this choice to enable or disable the PXE setup prompt. Disable is the default setting. When the prompt is enabled, the prompt Press Ctrl+S to enter the setup menu appears under the initializing prompt. v Setup time wait menu Select this choice to specify the amount of time (in seconds) that the system will wait for you press Ctrl+S after the prompt appears. You can select 2 (default), 3, 5, or 8 seconds. v Legacy OS wake up support Select this choice to enable or disable the legacy operating-system wake-up support. Disabled is the default setting. If you are using an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system, such as Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or WIndows NT, disable this choice to use Wake on LAN support. Otherwise, enable it. If you are using a non-ACPI-aware operating system, do not send wake-up packets to the server while it is turned on. If you send a wake-up packet to the server while it is turned on and you are then unable to turn off the server, see "Power problems" in the "Error symptoms" section in the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. 70 xSeries 445 Type 8870: User's Guide
