Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use. When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off. Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually necessary but is a recommended precaution. When the tablet PC is in Standby, the standby light and the power/standby light flash. Hibernation Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard drive, and then shuts down the tablet PC. When you restore from Hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off. If a power-on password has been set, the password must be entered to restore from Hibernation. You can disable Hibernation. However, if Hibernation is disabled, and the system reaches a low-battery condition, the system will not automatically save your work while power is on or when Standby has been initiated. In the Power Options window, Hibernation is not displayed as an option if it has been disabled. You must enable Hibernation in order to select it in the Power Options window.

A large scale WLAN, such as a corporate WLAN or public WLAN hotspot, typically use wireless access points, that can handle a large number of computers and accessories and can separate critical network functions. A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which enables several wireless and wired computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without additional pieces of hardware or software. 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 802.11g There are three popular implementations of WLAN adapters:
802.11b only 802.11b/g 802.11a/b/g 802.11b, 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 Hardware and Software Guide 83 hp CONFIDENTIAL August 24, 2004 4:02 pm DRAFT Revised: 8/24/04 File: Chap8.fm PN: HP-376186-001 Wireless 802.11b and 802.11g.

Used to log on to the tablet PC as a user after Windows has been configured to prompt for a password at startup. HP and Windows Password Guidelines HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must use an HP password at an HP password prompt and a Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example:
If a power-on password is set, the power-on password (not a Windows password) must be entered when the tablet PC starts up or restores from Hibernation. If you set Windows to prompt for a password before resuming from Standby, a Windows password (not a power-on password) must be entered to resume from Standby. The same word or series of letters or numbers used for an HP password can be used for another HP password or for a Windows password, with these considerations:
HP passwords can be any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and are not case sensitive. An HP password must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For example, an HP password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with embedded numeric keypad number keys. For information about the embedded numeric keypad, refer to the Keypads section in Chapter 3, Pointing Devices and Keyboard.

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 Sequence By 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. Hardware and Software Guide 101 hp CONFIDENTIAL August 24, 2004 4:02 pm DRAFT Revised: 8/24/04 File: Chap10.fm PN: HP-367186-001 MultiBoot An optical drive device (such as a CD-ROM drive) can boot either as drive A or drive C, depending on the format of the CD. 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. 102 Hardware and Software Guide hp CONFIDENTIAL August 24, 2004 4:02 pm DRAFT Revised: 8/24/04 File: Chap10.fm PN: HP-367186-001 MultiBoot Enabling Bootable Devices in Computer Setup The tablet PC can start up from a USB device or the NIC only if that device has been enabled for inclusion in MultiBoot. To enable a device or location for inclusion in MultiBoot:
1. Open Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the tablet PC. Press f10 while the F10 = ROM Based Setup message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen. To change the language, press f2. For navigation instructions, press f1. 2.

Save your preferences and exit Computer Setup, by using the arrow keys to select File > Save changes and exit, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Your preferences are set when you exit Computer Setup and they take effect when the tablet PC restarts. To connect a NIC to a Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) or Remote Program Load (RPL) server during startup without using MultiBoot, quickly press f12 when the Network Service Boot message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. Hardware and Software Guide 103 hp CONFIDENTIAL August 24, 2004 4:02 pm DRAFT Revised: 8/24/04 File: Chap10.fm PN: HP-367186-001 MultiBoot Understanding MultiBoot Results Before 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. 104 Hardware and Software Guide hp CONFIDENTIAL August 24, 2004 4:02 pm DRAFT Revised: 8/24/04 File: Chap10.fm PN: HP-367186-001 MultiBoot Setting MultiBoot Preferences There are two ways to set MultiBoot sequences:
