# Installation and Setup

This section provides how to install and setup Intel® iSCSI Remote Boot components. The first step after hardware preparation is to program Intel iSCSI Remote Boot firmware on an iSCSI Remote Boot-capable adapter. See the Installing Firmware section below.

The default iSCSI Remote Boot configuration uses DHCP. If using Static IP, it is necessary to set up the firmware for static IP configurations. See the section Firmware Setup.

Depending on the target OS to be booted from the iSCSI target disk volume, follow the detailed instructions in Microsoft* Windows Setup or Linux Setup.

## Installing Firmware

In order to enable Intel iSCSI Remote Boot, the firmware should be loaded as Option ROM while booting the BIOS in the system. `"Intel(R) iSCSI Remote Boot"` followed by the firmware version number is displayed, if the firmware is installed correctly.

If you are installing or upgrading Intel iSCSI Remote Boot firmware on Intel PRO/1000 PT/PF Single/Dual/Quad Port Server Adapter, BootUtil is a DOS utility software used to install the firmware. BootUtil is not intended as a utility for LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) implementations. If you are using an Intel iSCSI Remote Boot-capable OEM server system, please refer to instructions provided from the OEM to enable Intel iSCSI Remote Boot.
