The SBC622 is capable of booting from a server using the 10/100/1000 Mbit
Ethernet ports and the 10 GbE ports over a network utilizing the Intel Boot Agent.
The Intel Boot Agent gives you the ability to remotely boot the SBC622 using the
PXE protocol. The Ethernet must be connected through one of the front panel
(RJ45) connectors to boot remotely. This feature allows users to create systems
without the worry of disk drive reliability, or the extra cost of adding NAND
Flash drives.
