Why each option
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is the standard protocol that allows a computer to boot its operating system image from a remote network server rather than a local storage device.
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is a client-server interface built into the NIC firmware that uses DHCP to obtain a network address and TFTP to download a boot image from a remote server. It is the industry-standard mechanism for network booting, commonly used for OS deployments and diskless workstations. No local storage device is required.
DVD is a local optical disc medium and cannot boot from a remote server.
USB is a local removable storage medium and requires a physical drive connected to the machine.
SATA is a local storage interface standard (for hard drives and SSDs) and has no network booting capability.
