Boot Mode
Introduction
Overview
In addition to using a BOOTP server or manual settings, the Switched Rack
PDU can use a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to
provide the settings that it needs to operate on a TCP/IP network.
The method used to provide the network settings for the PDU depends on
Boot mode, a TCP/IP option in the Network menu. To use a DHCP server
to provide the network assignment for the PDU, Boot mode must be set to
either DHCP & BOOTP, its default setting, or DHCP only.

and RFC2132.
