Boot Order
The Setup utility allows you to set the tablet PC to start up from
most bootable devices. A bootable device contains files needed
by the tablet PC to start up and operate properly.
The bootable device may be a hard drive, an internal Network
Interface Card (NIC), or a bootable drive medium. The bootable
drive medium may be a diskette or an optical drive disc.
The tablet PC cannot start up from a NIC until the NIC has been
enabled for startup.
Understanding the Search Sequence
When more than one bootable device is in the system, the
tablet PC selects the startup device by searching sequenced
locations in the following order:
1. Bootable optical disc
2. Bootable diskette
3. Bootable hard drive
4. Bootable NIC
Searchable locations include:
■ Tablet PC hard drive bay
■ MultiBay in an optional Docking Station
■ MultiBay in an optional External MultiBay that is connected
to the tablet PC
