   Might be a bug or not, but even if i disable every pxe boot option in Bios it still checks dhcp with all 4 adapters at start up. Its annoying since it adds about 20 sec of boot time

	I'm not sure if this will help you, you may already be aware of these, and depending upon the OS you use, that may be part of the problem. This is software from Intel called the Intel® Ethernet Connections Boot Utility, Preboot Images, and EFI Drivers. Available here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19186/Intel-Ethernet-Connections-Boot-Utility-Preboot-Images-and-EFI-Drivers Intel provides software, called Administrative Tools for Intel Network Adapters, that may help you disable the PXE boot option: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/4237/Administrative-Tools-for-Intel-Network-Adapters Given the nature of your board, that is not concerned with boot speed over the integrity of the hardware, you may not be able to reach your goal. But I wish you luck!
