Network Boot in Compaq DeskPro EN

I am trying to use PXE to boot up a Compaq Deskpro EN using a BootManage Administrator tool.

This works well with Dell Optilex GX 270/260 models, but seems to fail wih the deskpro.

Do i need to reprogram the Bios to cater for PXE or find an additional card that caters for this?

Re: Network Boot in Compaq DeskPro EN

The manufacturer of your PC is responsible for providing updates for your PXE Boot Agent because the PXE code is integrated with the BIOS.  However, since you're using an older model PC, it is very likely that there is no update available for the BIOS-integrated PXE code.  If this is the case, you have few options:

1.  Purchase a separate NIC with PXE boot ROM onboard.
2.  Purchase a PXE on Disk floppy and use this floppy to network boot the PC.

Argon can provide you with either solution.
