MultiBoot (Advanced Users Only)
Software Guide

■
Changing the boot sequence also changes the logical drive
designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in
the notebook MultiBay, that hard drive becomes drive C, and
a hard drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D.
■
Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive
designations since no drive letter is associated with the NIC.
■
Drives in a Port Replicator are treated like external USB
devices in the boot sequence and must be enabled in F10
Computer Setup.
■
Drives in a Mobile Expansion Unit are treated like notebook
MultiBay devices, and no additional steps are required to
include them in a boot sequence.
Setting MultiBoot Preferences
There are two ways to use MultiBoot:
■
Set a new default boot sequence the notebook uses each time
it starts up.
■
Use variable boot sequences using MultiBoot Express. This
feature prompts you for a startup device each time it is started
or restarted.

To set a startup sequence that the notebook will use each time it is
started or restarted:
1. Restart the notebook, then press

Based Setup message is displayed in the lower left of the
screen.
