PXE boot from onboard NIC not possible with 4 more NICs

I have tried to make RDP OS deployment on a new DL585 G5 server. The server has 4 additional NICs installed - 2*NC380T, NC7170 and a NC364T.
In the BIOS Boot order list there are 9 entries floppy,cd-rom,disk drive, 5 PXE for the additional NICs - but no one for the onboard NC371i NIC. It is possible to disable the PXE option on the NC380T and other NICs? I don't need the PXE boot on every port of the NC380T DP Broadcom NICs nor on the NC7170. They are connected to different networks.

Re: PXE boot from onboard NIC not possible with 4 more NICs

Try to change the "Option ROM Loading Sequence" under "Advanced Options" in the BIOS.

Select "Load Embedded Devices first"
Then the onboard NICs should make PXE boot again.
