Intel Boot Agent Release Notes[2]
Introduction
The Intel(R) Boot Agent is a software product that allows booting of
a personal computer using a boot image that resides on a remote
server. The product is compliant with the Wired for Management
Baseline 2.0 (WfM 2.0) specification and incorporates the PXE client
functionality described in the Pre-boot eXecution Environment Version
2.0 (PXE 2.0 and 2.1) specification. For more detailed information,
refer to the Intel(R) Boot Agent User's Guide included on the product
CD ROM.
Installing the Boot Agent Software
All Intel WfM-compatible adapters, such as the Intel(R) PRO/100+
Management Adapter, have a factory-installed, integrated flash ROM
device that has been pre-programmed with a Boot Agent software image.
Therefore, no software installation is required.
Installation of the Boot Agent on other adapters requires a flash ROM
device (non-volatile storage device) to be present within the client
computer system. This flash ROM can take these forms:
• A factory-installed, integrated flash ROM device on the computer
motherboard with remote boot enabled LOM (LAN on motherboard) hardware
support.
• A field-upgraded, add-on flash ROM device installed into your
network adapter. See the list of flash ROM devices that are compatible
with Intel(R) PRO/100+ or PRO/100B adapters under "Flash ROM Devices
Supported".
In cases involving hardware upgrades, once a flash ROM is available
within the client computer, a valid Boot Agent software image must
then be installed onto the flash ROM. The way in which the Boot Agent
software image is installed onto the flash ROM depends upon your
hardware configuration.
• If your computer includes the network adapter on its motherboard,
the Boot Agent software might need to be installed as part of a
