There is a description of PXE here:

 http://developer.intel.com/ial/wfm/wfmover.htm#new

Here is a brief snippet:

"The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) technology makes it possible to 
configure or reconfigure a system remotely, even with a blank hard disk 
drive. The computer system has a universal service agent loaded locally 
in the BIOS. This agent allows the system to interact with a remote 
server to dynamically retrieve the requested boot image across the 
network, making it possible to install the operating system and user 
configuration of a new system without a technician present. As a result, 
an organization's IT department can save on human labor, the most 
expensive element of support costs, and get new or transferred employees 
set up and productive more quickly..."
