To set the system to boot from the network you need to set MBA UNDI as the first boot device in the Boot Sequence section of the system BIOS setup screens. Selecting MBA UNDI allows the system to boot from the network server. The MBA UNDI option appears under Boot Sequence only if the Network Interface Controller option is set to On w/MBA. If the Network Interface Controller option is set to On or Off, set it to On w/MBA and then press [Alt] to save the change and reboot the system. MBA UNDI then appears under Boot Sequence.
When you select this option, the system prompts you to press [Ctrl] [Alt] at the Dell logo screen during system boot. A menu then appears that allows you to select PXE, RPL, BootP, or NetWare as the active boot mode. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the system tries to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.

johnfli,
What you mean with "boot routine"?
My intention is to power up the system over the net from any computer. The "little problem" is that we have not access to the power start button :-)
If I need a boot routine, where I can find?
Thanks in advance
