PXE Implementation When the Motherboard BIOS Doesn't Support Ii

I recently purchased MSI Motherboards H110M PRO-VD boards that do not support PXE bootup.  I have a Clonezilla server that I like to save images to then push out to identical machines.  I have several of these boards that I am needing to deploy a new image to, but can't initialize anything in the BIOS to do this as it isn't there.   According to MSI, a BIOS upgrade isn't available to do this as this board doesn't support it.

Can I accomplish this through an added on LAN card?  If so what would be the steps to do this and what brand of LAN card would you recommend?

I would recommend the StarTech ST1000SPEXI

It provides an Intel-based, PXE-bootable gigabit ethernet interface, is relatively inexpensive, and highly reliable.

NOTE:  I do not work for StarTech, their distributors, resellers, advertisers nor am I in any way affiliated with either StarTech or Intel.  I receive no income or compensation for recommending products.

I contacted StarTech and they said that the ST1000SPEXI wouldn't work for PXE boot.
