# Server System Setup

Overview

Linux* Server Setup

Other Server Setup Information

## Overview

For the Intel® Boot Agent software to perform its intended job, there must be a server set up on the same network as the client computer. That server must recognize and respond to the PXE or BOOTP boot protocols that are used by the Intel Boot Agent software.

The following topics describe the actions you should take to set up various types of servers to work with the Intel Boot Agent. If you have questions concerning the setup of your server system, contact the manufacturer of your server hardware or your server operating system vendor for assistance.

| NOTE: When the Intel Boot Agent software is installed as an upgrade for an earlier version boot ROM, the associated server-side software may not be compatible with the updated Intel Boot Agent. Contact your system administrator to determine if any server updates are necessary.

## Linux* Server Setup
