matching the PXE:Slot# (listed on the Please Select Boot Device menu) with the physical
NEM or EM slot number label on the chassis, and (2) matching the F# (listed on the Please
Select Boot Device menu) with the physical NIC port number label on the NEM (ports
0.0 to 9.0 and 0.1 to 9.1) or EM (ports 0 or port 1).
After the network boot device is specied, the system attempts to get the IP address from the
DHCP PXE boot server. After the PXE server is found, the PXE boot prompt appears.
