elliottmarter Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I have a trolley of Ergo B25M and trying to network boot them using a USB to Ethernet adapter Once I am in the BIOS there seems to be zero settings to enable network boot. F12 on boot gives me either "Windows Boot Manager" or "EFI Shell" Any ideas? Considering loading my MDT on to a USB stick and doing them one by one.
CyberDrac Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Some tablets are very selective about the adapter used ... I tried several working with Fujitsu Stylistic R726 and found that many don't PXE boot ... I ended up with a Dell FM76N model that has worked consistently.
Norphy Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 And some just plain don't have a networking stack built into the EFI. Yours might be one of those. Booting from a USB Stick is probably your best option.

For the Lenovo I bought their own from their website.
elliottmarter Posted March 9, 2018 Author Posted March 9, 2018 Can't even get them to USB boot at this point, I get a message along the lines of "system is unable to USB boot please turn it on in the SCU" and then BIOS is totally void of any settings to do with booting. Have raised a case with ergo to see if they can help.

Canaan Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Holy necropost, Batman! I have one of these Ergo B25M units in front of me. Did you ever get the PXE or boot ISO etc sourced please @elliottmarter ?
