Pre-boot menu options
If an error occurs while the product is initializing, an error message displays on the control-panel display. The
user can open the Pre-boot menus. The error menu item will not be seen if an error did not occur.
CAUTION: The Format Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The operating system,
firmware files, and third party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP does not recommend this
action.
TIP: The Pre-boot menu can be remotely accessed by using a telnet network protocol to establish a
administration connection to the product. See
Remote Admin on page 115.
