the pi3 is able to network boot without an SD card, but its a bit buggySince you are working with a 3B(+) (and good for you - it's the best Pi model), you will need at least something on the SD card.
if the dhcp server responds with the correct message (its all in the official docs), then the pi3 will send a tftp request to the dhcp server, asking for bootcode.bin
and the latest bootcode.bin has all of the bugs ironed out, so everything from there on should be smooth sailing, and it wil fetch the rest of the files it normally finds in fat32 from tftp
if your boot rom isnt compatible with the network for whatever reason, you can also use the special bootcode.bin only method (which works on pi1-pi3!)
just a fat32 with only bootcode.bin and nothing else, and it will network boot, same as before
