Boot Order
Software Guide 6–3
Setting a Boot Order Preference
After you set a boot order preference:
■ The tablet PC uses your boot order preference each time it is
started or restarted.
■ The logical drive designations used by the system change.
For example, if you set the tablet PC to start up from a
removable hard drive in the External MultiBay, that hard
drive becomes drive C and the system hard drive in the hard
drive bay becomes drive D. Starting up from a NIC does not
affect logical drive designations.
Boot order preferences are set in the Setup utility:
1. To open the Setup utility, turn on or restart the tablet PC.
While the HP logo is displayed and a cursor is flashing in
the upper-right corner of the screen, press the esc button on
the tablet PC, or press
F10 on an external keyboard.
❏ To change the language, select Advanced > Languages.
❏ To navigate and select without using an external
keyboard, rotate the jog dial to scroll, and press the
jog dial inward to select.
❏ To navigate and select using an external keyboard, use
the arrow and
enter keys.
2. Select the Advanced menu. Then:
a. To enable an internal NIC for startup, select Device
Options, then enable PXE/Remote Boot.
b. To set a boot order preference, select Boot, then follow
the instructions in the right pane of the window.
3. To save your preferences and exit the Setup utility, use the
arrow keys to select Exit > Exit Saving Changes, then follow
the instructions on the screen.
Your preferences are set as you exit the Setup utility and are in
effect when the tablet PC restarts.
