However, it is possible to initially boot off an eMMC or SD card, then transfer to a root file
system on the NVMe. Currently, it is necessary to have the U-Boot code on an eMMC or
SD card. (A forum member posted here about using a modified version of U-Boot with

Bypass Cables
The mainboard features two (disconnected by default) bypass cables that are only to be
used with the battery disconnected. The female (10) male (6) ends of the bypass cables
can be connected to provide power to the mainboard if you need to run the laptop without
a battery. Please refer to this engineering notice.
WARNING: Do not connect the bypass cables with the battery connected. Using the
bypass cables with the battery connected can permanently damage the computer.
