the master boot record, which starts a secondary stage loader.

e Loader and Boot Menu
The secondary stage loader provides the user with a boot menu. The boot option can be selected
by using arrow keys and then made to run by using the enter key. By default, the STC boots into the
default choice after the specified timeout. You can then choose between 2 boot options and the
option of starting the Thin Client in its factory defaults safe mode.

Silent Boot
"Silent Boot" is the standard boot mode; it suppresses all messages from the kernel and starts
up the graphical desktop. It displays a progress bar along with a text message when major
checkpoints in the boot process are reached.
Verbose Boot
If the "Verbose Boot" is chosen (by pressing the key "F2"), the boot messages are shown and
there will be a detailed display of the boot process and its execution.
Safe Boot
If you choose "Safe Boot" (setup only with standard parameter values), the secondary stage
loader looks for a bootable system in the flash and continues the boot process as in the other
boot modes. It basically does booting with a default X-server configuration without the bootsplash
screen. This method will restore your display settings to default in main boot. This method is very
useful in case you need to restore corrupted display to restore to the original settings of the
system. Please beware that all your display related custom settings will get changed.

After loading the kernel the network configuration follows. Two different ways can be chosen to
include the terminal in the network environment. According to the settings of the terminal, DHCP
broadcast or manual configured IP address can be used for this purpose.
