CCBoot client hardware requirements

Motherboards not supported

If you want to use CCBoot for diskless boot of PC, the PC should have the following features:

  1. The NIC should be a PXE 2.x compatible network adapter. The NIC can be onboard or installed. For most up-to-date motherboards, the onboard NIC can support PXE 2.x. For example, Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards.
  2. 1 Gbps speed NIC. We DO NOT recommend using 100M NIC. The diskless boot speed will be slow and can only boot a small amount of XP workstations.
  3. We recommend using Realtek and Intel 1000M series NIC. We DO NOT recommend using NVIDIA NIC. Since NVIDIA NIC is not stable in diskless booting. Some earlier and cheap Atheros NIC is also NOT recommended. They are not stable and have poor performance in diskless booting.
  4. Till now, CCBoot CANNOT diskless boot with wireless NIC (Wi-Fi network cards).
  5. The minimum RAM size is 512M. We recommend the client to use 2G RAM for XP and 4G RAM for Windows 7.
  6. CPU can be AMD or Intel, no specific requirements. (Note: Intel 7th and 8th Generation CPU and boards are also supported)
  7. Sometimes when your motherboard has a TPM module, it may prevent diskless booting, hence disable the TPM in the BIOS. This is mostly for the new motherboard that has this feature.
