9 Software & driver installation
The driver software necessary for use is already integrated in the respective operating system.
Note:
The device does not have any integrated CD drive. If the hard drive has
been reformatted, the operating system can be reinstalled by using one of
the existing interfaces.
An external keyboard is required for installation.
Installing the operating system via a USB interface
1. Connect external USB drive and a keyboard.
2. Restart the device and press the ESC key to call up the boot menu.
3. Insert an operating system CD in the external drive.
4. In the boot menu, select boot from the external drive and start.
5. Installing the operating system and setting up the basic data.
6. With devices including touch screens, the touch screen driver as well as the soft keyboard should
be installed in order to ensure their full functionality.
Installing the operating system via PXE
Alternatively, the operating system can also be installed via a network through the use of the PXE
functionality (PXE = Preboot Execution Environment).
For this purpose, the appropriate BootROM extension must first be activated in BIOS and then selected
in the boot menu.
The further course of action is dependent on the network environment and the operating system that is
to be installed.
