ABSTRACT:
A system comprises a processor adapted to read BIOS code from a system ROM, a management controller coupled to the processor, and a network interface controller coupled to the management controller. The management controller selectively traps read accesses from the processor that target the system ROM and, in response, causes the network interface controller to load network BIOS code from storage external to the system during system initialization.
