Latitude 7400 PXE

Is anyone able to get the Latitude 7400 PXE boot? I'm trying to use either a usb-c or usb-a ethernet adapter so that I can format the machine using MDT and cannot figure out the correct configuration.

    Welcome to the Dell Community @Nathan4546 

    I think @BrundtMark  is talking about Version 1.1.8

    Dell Latitude 7300/7400 System BIOS:

    https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2021K&osCode=wt64a&productCode=latitude-14-7400-laptop

    Fixes:
    - Fixed the issue where the BIOS Auto-Recovery function does not work when Secure Boot mode is enabled. 
    - Fixed the issue where the BIOS Auto-Recovery option does not work with Intel Optane Memory H10.
    - Fixed the issue where the IPV4, IPV6 and USB boot options disappeared from boot menu when connected to USB Type-C Device with Secure Boot option enabled. 
    - Corrects the help string of Advanced Boot Option in BIOS setup menu. 

    Best regards,

    U2

    Hi,

    Have you upgraded to the latest bios. we were missing the option to network pxe boot using usb-c adapter/dock  on the latest models we received(5300, 5400 and 7400) And they all needed to be bios updated. it's mentioned in biosversion changelog.

     

    kind regards,

    Jakob

    Just updated, but are seeing same issues. It's on BIOS version 1.2.0, can you confirm that's what you are working on? Are you able to show me the screenshot of which entry in the BIOS you are configuring?

    Gotcha, thanks! Confirmed that once the BIOS updated, a USB-C ethernet adapter worked.

    I'm having the issue with bios installed on 1.3.11 bios version.  I have tried usb adapter, usb-c adapter, wd15 dock and wd19 dock with no luck.

    Make sure to enable: System Configuration -> USB Thunderbolt Config -> Enable Thunderbolt Boot Support

    ((Firmware))

    Install firmware version Latitude 7400 2-in-1.1.4.0.32 from DELL Support

    ((BIOS Settings))

    General --> Advanced Boot Options --> Enable UEFI Network Stack

    System Configuration -> Thunderbolt Adapter Configuration --> Enable Thunderbolt Boot Support, Thunderbolt and Enable Thunderbolt (and PCIe behind TBT) Pre-boot Modules

    POST Behavior --> Fastboot --> Set to Thorough

    Secure Boot --> Disable (uncheck) Secure Boot Enable

    (((DHCP Settings))

    Add 066 to point to the DNS name of your SCCM Server (or whatever deployment type you use)

    Add 067 within DHCP to point to SMSBoot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi (or whatever your EFI filename is within your SMSBoot directory is

    If you need both BIOS (Legacy) and UEFI DHCP support for imaging your systems; review this video here: https://2pintsoftware.com/whitepaper-using-dhcp-uefi-bios-pxe-booting/#

    All we've had to do is, flash the BIOS, correct the time, and enable the "...Thunderbolt Boot Support."  Works using the WD19 or WD15.
