What Does PXE Mean?: To Enable The Network As A Boot Device

The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) allows networked computers without an operating system to be remotely configured and booted by an administrator. To initiate PXE boot, the client sends out a DHCP broadcast requesting to PXE boot, with the DHCP server responding with an IP address. Enabling PXE boot involves entering the BIOS Setup, going to the Boot menu, enabling Boot to Network, and saving changes.
