# Ethernet adapters and Surface deployment
This article provides guidance and answers to help you perform a network deployment to Surface devices.
This article provides guidance and answers to help you perform a network deployment to Surface devices including Surface Pro 3 and later.
Network deployment to Surface devices can pose some unique challenges for system administrators. Due to the lack of a native wired Ethernet adapter, administrators must provide connectivity through a removable Ethernet adapter.

Booting from the network (PXE boot) is only supported when you use an Ethernet adapter or docking station from Microsoft. To boot from the network, the chipset in the Ethernet adapter or dock must be detected and configured as a boot device in the firmware of the Surface device. Microsoft Ethernet adapters, such as the Surface Ethernet Adapter and the [Surface Dock](https://www.microsoft.com/surface/accessories/surface-dock) use a chipset that is compatible with the Surface firmware.

## Boot Surface devices from the network
To boot from the network or a connected USB stick, you must instruct the Surface device to boot from an alternate boot device. You can alter the boot order in the system firmware to prioritize USB boot devices, or you can instruct it to boot from an alternate boot device during the boot up process.

This article describes the available options that you can use to manage firmware and driver updates for Surface devices including Surface Pro 3 and later.

**WindowsPE and Surface firmware and drivers**
System Center Configuration Manager and MDT both use the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WindowsPE) during the deployment process. WindowsPE only supports a limited set of basic drivers such as those for network adapters and storage controllers. Drivers for Windows components that are not part of WindowsPE might produce errors. As a best practice, you can prevent such errors by configuring the deployment process to use only the required drivers during the WindowsPE phase.
