Can you PXE boot from this adapter?

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for your asking! This will likely be a "no" however it might be possible in some scenarios. For this to be possible, the BIOS/UEFI on the motherboard has to natively support the chip used in the USB network adapter- so this answer will always depend on the motherboard, and more specifically the UEFI/BIOS that motherboard runs. The vast majority of "legacy" systems will NOT have the ability to PXE boot a USB attached adapter. On more modern systems, this functionality will vary from model to model and is NOT something we can answer with certainty, as it is effectively a question of whether the motherboard's software has support for the chip used in the adapter- the ASIX AX88179. This is much less likely to work on this product than our USB 2.0 devices, since those are based on chips that have been around longer, thus giving motherboard OEMs time to integrate support for these USB devices into BIOS/UEFI. Our most widely compatible adapter, capable of 10/100 operation rather than gigabit speeds, is the AX88772 based http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethernet-Network-Adapter-AX88772/dp/B00484IEJS For Gigabit connection speeds (although potentially lower performance than the USB3-E1000), check for support for the ASIX 88178 chip used in our, consider the http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VSTDFG While it is theoretically possible to design a deployment environment that would work this way, unless you need to PXE boot regularly or are trying to integrate ultra books with SCCM or some other enterprise management system, I'd anticipate that it would be easier to use USB media to deploy from since support for the USB mass storage class of devices is fairly ubiquitous across modern motherboards- thus avoiding the need to check for compatibility with each motherboard BIOS/UEFI.

I never tried. I suspect you would need something like Ghost so you can boot up and restore.

There is no reason why not, I have booted from many devices. The only issue is that the new boot must be UEFI capable and needs to have power management drivers to keep from overheating the ventless design. I do not know of any Android distros like that.

I haven't tried to do it, but I don't see why not so long as there is a Mint/Linux kernel for that CPU and drivers. Note that the machine came with the OS installed so be sure to do a backup and boot media. You might want to contact ASUS: http://service.asus.com, +01888-678-3688 to be sure.

Yes. I did this with my Revo system. Just make sure you also purchase the power supply.

Came with adapter cable incase you do not have a 6 pin PCI-E cable from your PSU

I have this adapter running on a Win 7 PC and so far no reboots. You can try checking in your BIOS settings at boot up to see if you system is set for "wake via USB" this may be causing a reboot

Yes, but you really need to know what you're doing as far as drivers go to get everything set up properly. I have mine running Windows 7. It can be done, it just takes a little extra work. Also, you need to disable secure-boot from within the bios before you begin anything at all

Yes, but only if your system is bootable from your motherboards PCI, within the BIOS settings. It all depends on your motherboard. Check with the motherboard manufacturer if you cannot find the correct BIOS setting.

Yes, you have to use the WIS09AGBN adapter. The WIS09AGBNX/XA will not work.

It is backwards compatible. I'm not sure if you can use a boot source but I am sure with certain programs it is possible.
1709506
Yes you can, you only have to make sure to have the compatible SMPTE signal from the source. Best Regards

No. Go to crucial page and check in the compatibility tool the correct specification for the system, size and voltage

Yes you should be able too. I will warn you that you still need to have power to the HDD as well as the small four pin power connector on the adapter.

Yes, that's what I'm using it on. No issues. I didn't even have to install a driver. Windows recognized it immediately.
1747146
yes you can! make sure it's seated firmly in the socket and you're good to go with a bit of bios tweaking.

I have not physically tried to hook mine up that way, and the more I stare @ it, the more I think it's NOT possible. The reason is this plugs right in to the back of a SATA drive by itself, but it will NOT hook up to an IDE/PATA drive without a dbl ended adaptor. That goes for the power plug too. What you need is this: http://www.amazon.com/IDE-SATA-Adapter/dp/B000RK89M4/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1379231358&sr=1-4&keywords=pata+to+sata+adapter , which appears to work in both directions. Hope that makes sense :)
