Bootable floppy or CD version of the Argon Managed
PC Boot Argon (MBA) Boot ROM firmware
Argon Technology PXE on Disk™ / MBA on Disk™ client-based
firmware that enables client PCs to access and boot from boot image files on
a server. The Argon boot agent supports multiple boot protocols and network environments, such
as: the Wired for Management specification's Preboot Execution Environment (PXE),
NetWare NCP/IPX (802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II), IBM's RPL, traditional DHCP and
BOOTP . The Argon boot agent enables network administrators to deploy centrally-administered
management applications to networked clients during their boot phase. Examples
of preboot applications are OS deployment for new PCs and disaster recovery,
virus scanning, PC BIOS updates, and critical file restore facilities.
Previously, the boot agent was available only as a NIC specific option
ROM or integrated as part of the PC's main BIOS. Argon Technology now offers
a bootable floppy or CD disk-based boot agent. This disk-based boot agent supports
a wide variety of NICs. OEM licensing also available to software vendors to
integrate into their application.
Argon PXE-On-Disk is fully tested with RIS and works perfect as a RIS boot Disk.
This product is licensed by network adapter MAC address. You will need to specify the
MAC addresses of the adapters you wish to use with PXE on disk when purchasing the product.
A single disk can support several different types of network adapters.

OEM Version:
Argon also offers a licensed OEM version that allows vendors of desktop management
software to integrate PXE on Disk into their applications. Their customers can
then create an unlimited number of PXE boot disks, as well as IBM RPL, NetWare
(802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II) and TCP/IP (DHCP or BOOTP) network boot protocols.
Why Argon PXE on Disk Boot Agent?
- A quick and simple means to enable network booting on a
PC; no need to change PC or NIC-specific settings (no need to enable MBA on
the NIC or make network boot the highest priority boot device within the BIOS)
- MBA on Disk is the only Wired for Management 2.0-compliant
tool available that enables:
• PCs with USB but lacking a boot firmware-supportive Ethernet NIC
• Your legacy ISA installed base to take advantage of centrally deployed
management tools
- For those who require the latest version of MBA but have
an older version of MBA or PXE embedded in the system BIOS and can't wait
for a manufacturers' BIOS update, disk-based MBA can get you up and running
with the new version right away
Argon's PXE on Disk is now available through the Web.
When you purchase this product, you'll receive e-mail instructions
on how to download your PXE on Disk creation program. (A maximum of one business
day, depending on your time zone, when you placed your order and when your payment
was processed).
