Preboot menu options
If an error occurs while the product is initializing, an error message displays on the control-panel
display. The user can open the Preboot menus. The error menu item will not be seen if an error did not
occur.
CAUTION: The 2 Format Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The operating
system, firmware files, and third party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP does not
recommend this action without contacting HP support first.
