Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) architecture for booting a client computer. This is an Intel standard and lies within the system BIOS of a computer. Cisco Network Boot uses this architecture for the booting process.

See definition for: Preboot Execution Environment quorum disk The cluster disk on which configuration data is maintained in the quorum log, cluster database checkpoint, and resource checkpoints. The quorum disk is managed by the Quorum resource, which is usually a special kind of Physical Disk resource. Remote Installation Services (RIS) Software services that allow an administrator to set up new client computers remotely, without having to visit each client. The target clients must support remote booting. See also: Preboot Execution Environment SAN See definition for: storage area network (SAN)

Preboot Execution Environment. A standard client/server interface that enables networked computers that are not yet installed with an operating system to be configured and booted remotely. PXE booting is configured at the BIOS level.

pre-boot execution environment — A WfM (Wired for Management) standard that allows networked computers that do not have an operating system to be configured and started remotely.

Preboot eXecution Environment. A way of booting a system via a LAN (without a hard drive or bootable diskette).

( reboot xecution nvironment) is one of the four components that makes up the Wired for Management 2.0 baseline specification. PXE was designed to define a standard set of preboot protocol services within a client, towards the goal of allowing networked - based booting to boot using industry standard protocols.

Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) is an Intel Wired for Management ( WfM) capability that enables a PC to boot from the server.
