Configuring the Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA)

This section explains how to configure the Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) boot ROM to

boot from the network.

Enabling or Disabling the Boot ROM Setting

The default NIC boot ROM setting is Disabled. This setting must be enabled to boot from

the network.

To enable or disable the NIC boot ROM setting:

1 Make sure that the NIC is installed and is connected to the network and that the NIC

driver is installed.

2 Open the Windows Start menu.

3 Select Programs, and then 3Com NIC Utilities.

4 Click 3Com NIC Doctor.

The 3Com NIC Diagnostics General screen appears.

5 Select the Configuration tab.

The Configuration screen appears.

6 Under Network Parameter, select NetBoot ROM.

7 Open the Set Value list box and select Enabled to enable the boot ROM or Disabled to

disable the boot ROM.

8 Click OK to save the setting and exit the program.

Booting From the Network

The boot process for the MBA boot ROM varies depending on the type of computer you

have (BBS BIOS-compatible or non-BBS BIOS-compatible).

If your computer was purchased recently, it may be BBS (BIOS Boot Specification) BIOS-

compatible. The BBS determines how the system BIOS identifies boot devices in a

computer (such as a CD-ROM drive, a hard drive, or a floppy drive), allows the user to

select the boot order of these devices, and then attempts to boot from each device in the

specified order.

Refer to your computer documentation if you do not know which type of computer you

have.

BBS BIOS-Compatible PCs

To enable a BBS BIOS-compatible computer to boot from the network using the MBA

boot ROM:

1 Make sure that the NIC boot ROM setting is Enabled.

See the previous section, “Enabling or Disabling the Boot ROM Setting,” for

instructions.

2 Set the MBA manually as the first boot device in the computer BIOS.

Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on accessing and configuring

the computer BIOS.

NOTE: For detailed information on using, configuring, and troubleshooting the

MBA boot ROM, refer to the Managed PC Boot Agent User Guide, located with

the MBA software on the 3Com Installation CD.
