It's best to use IP Helpers but if you need to use DHCP Options here you go

Hi,
IP Helpers are the way to go, the DHCP Scope options is not really supported.
"An alternative to using IP Helpers is setting DHCP Options on the DHCP server, specifically DHCP Options 60 (PXE Client), 66 (Boot Server Host Name), and 67 (Bootfile Name). However, DHCP Options can be problematic and may not work reliably or consistently. Furthermore the use of DHCP Options to control PXE requests is not supported by Microsoft. Therefore the only recommended and supported method of PXE booting client PCs that are on a different subnet than the DHCP or WDS/PXE Service Point servers is the use of IP Helpers."

Hi
If I understand the question correct you have said the DHCP and SCCM PXE Point are not on the same box, but you have no where mentioned that they are on different IP subnet. In that case no options required to configure. If the WDS server and DHCP are on different IP subnet then you need to configure IP helper.
