The V7768/V7769 include a Boot-from-LAN BIOS option which allows the SBCsto be booted from a network. This appendix describes the procedures to enable
this option and to select a LAN connection as the boot device.
NOTE
The options listed in this appendix may not be available on your system.
C.1 Enabling the Front Panel (FP) LAN
The LAN must be enabled in the Boot Setup Utility in order to perform a remote
boot. The board will only remotely boot from the front panel LAN connection.
The Chipset menu of the BIOS Setup Utility allows the LAN to be enabled.
Table C-1 shows the Chipset Menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Onboard
Devices Configuration. Select Onboard FP LAN and enter <+> until the option is set
to Enabled. Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup Utility. This will allow the
LAN to be a boot device.

There are two methods of selecting the LAN as a boot device. The first method is
the First Boot menu. The second is the Boot menu from the BIOS Setup Utility.
NOTE
The Front Panel (FP) LAN must be enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility
before either method will work.
C.2.1 First Boot Menu
Press F11 at the very beginning of the boot cycle, which will access the First Boot
menu. Selecting Network:IBA GE Slot to boot from the LAN in this screen applies
to the current boot only. At the next reboot the V7768/V7769 will revert back to the
setting in the Boot menu.
