2. Re: winpe usb type c network boot
MikeForg Aug 8, 2018 4:28 AM (in response to Nilay)Hi Nilay,
I just discovered a curious thing with the Precision 5520 series.
First, you have to activate the support for USB-C adaptors in the BIOS in the Thunderbolt section.
This gives you TWO devices under the Legacy Boot options.
And guess what - if you choose USB NIC, PXE won't start and you get an error message saying that your device could not be initialized.
But if you choose the 2nd option - USB storage - then PXE will work.

rtrmpec Jan 3, 2019 6:45 AM (in response to MikeForg)Hi MikeForg,
do you have any problem installing via USB dongle (or WD15) ? We always end up with two devices in the inventory (one with MAC device name and one with real computer name.)
Thanks for answer
