Boot Order
Starting Up from a NIC
When an internal NIC is enabled for startup:
■ The NIC can be included in a boot order preference.
■ A Network Service Boot prompt is displayed very briefly in
the lower-right corner of the screen each time the tablet PC is
started or restarted.
You can connect to a PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) or
RPL (Remote Program Load) server during startup by responding
to the Network Service Boot prompt.
To respond to a Network Service Boot prompt, use either of the
following methods:
■ Press the tab button on the tablet PC.
■ Press F12 on an external keyboard. To press F12 on the
tablet PC keyboard, press
Fn+F11/F12.
To connect to the server during startup, you must respond to the
Network Service Boot prompt whether or not you have included
the NIC in a boot order preference.
To enable a NIC for startup, see “Setting a Boot Order
Preference” earlier in this chapter.
