Instructions for accessing the other system-management settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program follow. Ethernet Support This setting is used to enable or disable the integrated Ethernet controller in your computer. The setting is enabled by default. You might want to disable this setting to free system resources if you install an optional network adapter and do not want to use the integrated Ethernet controller, or if your computer is not linked to a network. To access the Ethernet Support setting, select Devices and I/O Ports and then Ethernet Setup from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. RPL and DHCP The remote program load (RPL) feature enables your computer to start from a server on your LAN that has been configured for RPL. Network-management software, such as LANClient Control Manager, is required to take advantage of RPL. The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) feature makes it possible for a DHCP server on your intranet to assign an IP (internet protocol) address to your computer so that a boot image can be loaded onto your PC from an intranet server. The DHCP server must be one, such as the Intel LAN Desk Configuration Manager, that supports Boot P (Boot Protocol) on your intranet. You can use RPL and DHCP in conjunction with the integrated Ethernet controller, or in conjunction with an optional network adapter, but not with both. If you install an optional network adapter, disable Ethernet Support in the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you want to use the RPL or DHCP features of the optional adapter. See "Ethernet Support" for information on disabling the integrated Ethernet controller. To enable or disable RPL or DHCP, complete the following steps: 1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility Program" on page 34). 2. Select Devices and I/O Ports from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. 3. Select Ethernet Setup. Chapter 4. Configuring Your Computer. 53

Instructions for accessing the other system-management settings in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program follow.
Ethernet Support
This setting is used to enable or disable the integrated Ethernet controller in your
computer.
The setting is enabled by default.
You might want to disable this setting
to free system resources if you install an optional network adapter and do not want
to use the integrated Ethernet controller, or if your computer is not linked to a
network.
To access the Ethernet Support setting, select
Devices and I/O Ports
and then
Ethernet Setup
from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu.
RPL and DHCP
The remote program load (RPL) feature enables your computer to start from a
server on your LAN that has been configured for RPL.
Network-management
software, such as LANClient Control Manager, is required to take advantage of
RPL.
The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) feature makes it possible for a
DHCP server on your intranet to assign an IP (internet protocol) address to your
computer so that a boot image can be loaded onto your PC from an intranet server.
The DHCP server must be one, such as the Intel LAN Desk Configuration Manager,
that supports Boot P (Boot Protocol) on your intranet.
You can use RPL and DHCP in conjunction with the integrated Ethernet controller,
or in conjunction with an optional network adapter, but not with both.
If you
install an optional network adapter, disable
Ethernet Support
in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program if you want to use the RPL or DHCP features
of the optional adapter.
See “Ethernet Support” for information on disabling the
integrated Ethernet controller.
To enable or disable RPL or DHCP, complete the following steps:
1.
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “Starting the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page
34).
2. Select
Devices and I/O Ports
from the Configuration/Setup Utility program
menu.
3. Select
Ethernet Setup
