HP — OmniBook 800/166 Installation and Setup Guide (EN)

Starting Out with Your OmniBook Setting Up the OmniBook 4. Reset the OmniBook. • Press the reset button: Insert a pen tip or bent paper clip into the small opening marked “RESET” on the right side of the computer. Press the recessed button for 1 to 2 seconds. The OmniBook may take half a minute or more to restart (reboot). Pressing the reset button is similar to turning off a PC’s power, then turning it back on again. After this first time, you should not need to press the reset button often.

If you have an OmniBook floppy drive attached when you reset the OmniBook, make sure there’s no disk in the drive (unless you set the option in the System Configuration Utility to boot only from the hard drive). As on a PC, if there’s a disk in the floppy drive, the OmniBook looks there first for its startup files. 1-7
