Wireless access point and wireless router are often used interchangeably. Tablet PCs with 802.11 WLAN devices may support one or more of three IEEE physical layer standards: ■802.11a■802.11b■802.11gThere are three popular implementations of WLAN adapters:■802.11b only■802.11b/g■802.11a/b/g802.11b, the first popular WLAN standard, supports data rates of up to 11 Mbps and operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. 802.11g, which came later, also operates at 2.4 GHz but supports data rates of up to 54 Mbps. An 802.11g WLAN device is backward compatible with 802.11b devices, so they can operate on the same network. 802.11a supports data rates of up to 54 Mbps but operates at a frequency of 5 GHz. 802.11a is not compatible with 367426-xx1.book Page 3 Tuesday, August 24, 2004 4:02 PM

The MultiBoot utility, disabled by default, enables you to identify the devices and control the sequence in which the system attempts to boot from those devices as it starts up your tablet PC.Bootable devices include optical drive discs, such as CDs or DVDs, bootable diskettes, or NICs.✎Some devices, including USB devices and NICs, must be enabled in Computer Setup before they can be included in the boot sequence. For more information, refer to “Enabling Bootable Devices in Computer Setup” in this chapter.Understanding the Default Boot SequenceBy default, when more than one bootable device is in the system, the tablet PC chooses the startup device by searching enabled devices and locations in a predetermined sequence.On every boot, the system looks for bootable drive A devices first. If it fails to find a bootable drive A device, it searches for bootable drive C devices. Drive A devices include optical drives and diskette drives. Drive C devices include optical drives and primary hard drives.The primary hard drive can only boot as drive C. The NIC does not have a drive letter assigned to it.367426-xx1.book Page 1 Tuesday, August 24, 2004 4:02 PM

Most bootable CDs boot as drive A. If you have a CD that boots as the C drive, the system will boot the diskette drive before it boots the CD.By default, the tablet PC selects the startup device by searching enabled devices and locations in a predetermined sequence.You can change the sequence in which the tablet PC searches for a startup device by enabling MultiBoot and entering a new startup sequence, also called a boot order. Or, you can use MultiBoot Express to set the tablet PC to prompt you for a startup location each time the tablet PC is started or restarted.The list below describes the default sequence in which drive numbers are assigned. (The actual startup sequence varies by configuration.)■Default sequence for devices that boot as drive A:a. Optical drive in an optional docking device MultiBay or in an external MultiBay that contains a disc that boots as drive A.b. Diskette drive in an optional docking device or in an external MultiBay.■Default sequence for devices that boot as drive C:a. An optical drive in an optional docking device MultiBay or in an external MultiBay that contains a disc that boots as drive C.b. Hard drive in the tablet PC primary hard drive bay.c. Hard drive in an optional docking device MultiBay or in an external MultiBay.✎Since no drive letter is associated with the NIC, changing the boot order of a NIC does not affect drive letters of the other devices.367426-xx1.book Page 2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004 4:02 PM

10–4 Hardware and Software GuideMultiBootDRAFT Revised: 8/24/04File: Chap10.fm PN: HP-367186-001 hp CONFIDENTIALAugust 24, 2004 4:02 pmUnderstanding MultiBoot ResultsBefore changing the startup sequence, consider the following:■When the tablet PC restarts after the boot order has been changed, it considers only the first device of each drive type when searching for a startup device (except for optical devices). For example, the tablet PC is connected to an optional docking device containing an optical drive and a diskette drive. In the default boot sequence, the optical drive comes before the diskette drive. If the system fails to boot to the optical drive (either because it does not contain a disc or because the disc is not bootable) it does not try to boot to the diskette drive. Instead, it tries to boot to he first hard drive device present in the system. However, if there are two optical devices, and the first optical device does not boot, the system tries to boot to other optical devices in the system.■Changing the boot sequence also changes the logical drive designations. For example, if you start up from a CD-ROM drive with a disc that boots as drive C, that CD-ROM drive becomes drive C and the hard drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D.■Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive designations because no drive letter is associated with the NIC.■Drives in an optional docking device are treated like external USB devices in the boot sequence and must be enabled in Computer Setup.367426-xx1.book Page 4 Tuesday, August 24, 2004 4:02 PM
