described below in section 10.2.1.)
Note: The standard MP2500 does not provide support for ATA PC
Cards, so boot device options 2, 3 and 5 are not valid. If you select one
of these options by mistake, the boot process will not complete and the
unit will "hang". Repeat the above procedure from step 1 and select a
valid boot option device.
5. Press E and the unit will boot from the selected drive, which must
contain the MP2500 operating system. If you chose option 4 to boot from

display may go dark.
