M600 Mezzanine PXE Boot
We've got some 10G M600 Blades, they all have Broadcom Mezzanine expansion cards for fabric B.
Is there anyway to configure these to PXE boot from Fabric B - not the onboard controller ? I can't find any options in the BIOS, and they don't offer any option to configure them on boot.
I have updated all firmware to the latest version.

Sorry, the card is a Broadcom M5708t
It looks like it perhaps doesn't support PXE boot.

Hi, I'm having this same issue. The Mezz cards don't seem to be showing up as devices I can PXE boot from. Does anyone have any guidance on these cards?

Bumping this topic. The 5708t card is exposed to the OS as a network it can use, but no pre-boot options.

For anyone else curious about this topic, we ended up purchasing Broadcom 5719 cards to replace the 5708t's. The 5719's did end up giving me a pre-boot menu and the option to PXE boot.
