■ If the computer power source changes from external power to
battery power while the computer is connected to a network,
the LAN-On Battery Alert popup window prompts you to turn
off the network card.
■ To conserve battery power by turning off the network
connection, select Yes.
NOTE: After you have selected Yes, you must reconnect the
computer to external power before you can restore the
network connection.
■ To retain the network connection, select No.
Accessing the Network at Startup
The fastest way to go directly to the network during startup is to
press
F12 when the “Network Service Boot” message appears very
briefly in the lower-right corner of the screen.
To set the computer to start up from a network card, refer to
“Changing the Startup Sequence with MultiBoot” in Chapter 6.
Reinstalling LAN Drivers
LAN drivers are preinstalled.
If it becomes necessary to reinstall these drivers, instructions (in
readme.txt files) are in the desktop Programs folder and
installation files are on the hard drive.

range of conditions, Compaq recommends that you use the
Setup.exe procedures whenever possible.
