Remote network booting and installation reduce administrative overhead for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Network installations are based on the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) protocol. Dell PowerEdge 3250 servers are built with IA-64 architecture, which uses the Intel eXtensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification. In these servers, PXE is implemented as a core EFI function, which helps improve the network installation process.
