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, 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.
The Setup utility is not a Windows utility and does not
support the TouchPad. For more information about using the
Setup utility, refer to the “Using the Setup Utility” section in
Chapter 9 of this guide.
■ To respond to the Network Service Boot prompt, press f12
while the prompt
F12 = Boot from LAN appears very briefly in
the lower left corner of the screen before Windows loads.
