Dell R730 通过PXE 安装 Debian x64

在局域网环境里面，记得以前的dell机器通过PXE安装Debian x64是十分快捷的。

但是这次新拿到的Dell R730，点击F12 进行PXE安装时，却总报找不到安装源之类的错误，总之，很是不解。

然后上网搜，看了Dell官方的视频后，终于得到了启发：

该机器有4个网口，左边两个是万兆的，后边两个是千兆的。因为局域网是千兆的，所以只能插后两个，我选了最右边的。（一开始由于机房后部比较黑，没注意插入了万兆口，后来发现灯不闪，才切换到了最后边，这时绿灯才开始闪。）

R730有一点必须赞一个，就是网卡号（1-4）与后面板网口从左到右顺序终于一一对应了，即网卡1对应左边第一个口，网卡4对应右边第一个。

而默认的PXE设置，却设在了网卡1，而且网卡1的启动设置，也设置了PXE。由于网卡1没有连接网线，所以该设置会报错找不到安装源。

所以，进入系统设置，将PXE设置在网卡4,；网卡1不设置启动，网卡4启动设置为PXE。

然后，重启之后，就找到局域网的PXE的安装源了。

注：PXE方式安装属于BIOS方式，不是UEFI方式。
