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?

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