 Preboot Execution Environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) as described in the specification (v2.1) published by Intel and Systemsoft is an environment to bootstrap computers using a network interface card independently of available data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems.
PXE specification - The Preboot Execution Environment specification v2.1 published by Intel and Systemsoft.
After parsing the answer, the firmware will ask an appropriate boot server for the file path of a network bootstrap program (NBP), download it into the computer's RAM using TFTP, possibly verify, and finally execute it.

 Preboot Execution Environment - a Whatis.com definition
The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is an industry standard client/server interface that allows networked computers that are not yet loaded with an operating system to be configured and booted remotely by an administrator.
The PXE code is typically delivered with a new computer on a read-only memory chip or boot disk that allows the computer (a client) to communicate with the network server so that the client machine can be remotely configured and its operating system can be remotely booted.
Since PXE is vendor-independent, new types of computers can easily be added to the network.

This issue caused the creation of another new suboption to identify the runtime environment so the correct binary image could be matched up with the booting machine.
Another issue that came up was the machine that could change its pre-OS runtime environment.
In the past, this work was done by examining the network MAC address in the "chaddr" field in the BOOTP/DHCP header and keeping a database of MAC addresses on the BOOTP/DHCP server.

For AIX 4.3.1 and later, the PXED protocol engine is based on Intel's Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) Specification Version 2.1, but is still compatible with Intel's PXE Specification Version 1.1.
When options are listed for any specific client, the server uses more memory storing that configuration tree than when options are inherited from a parent container (for example, the subnet, network, or global containers).
Using the information in the configuration file, the database is primed and verified for consistency.
