Accessing the Network at Startup
To connect the notebook to a PXE (Preboot eXecution
Environment) server during startup, you must enable the internal
NIC for startup, and then respond to the Network Service Boot
prompt each time you want to connect to the server.
■ To enable the NIC for startup and set the notebook to display
the Network Service Boot prompt each time the notebook is
started or restarted, set your preferences in the Setup utility.
For more information about using the Setup utility, refer to
“Using the Setup Utility,” in Chapter 9.
✎
The Setup utility is not a Windows utility and does not
support the TouchPad.
■
To respond to the Network Service Boot prompt, press f12
while the prompt “F12 = Boot from LAN” is displayed very
briefly in the lower-left corner of the screen before
Windows loads.
