2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs
which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating
system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the steps necessary
to installing your operating system on the panel PC hard drive.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the exter -
nal diskette drive until the release button pops out.
The BIOS supports system boots up directly from the flash disk. You may also insert
your system installation flash disk into the USB port.
Power on or reset the system by pressing the “Del” key to boot into BIOS menu and
adjust the boot device sequence.
You can also press the F12 key when booting; a bootable device popup menu will
appear, you can select bootable device that you want. The point-of-care terminal will
automatically load the operating system from the flash disk.
If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow
the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through the preparation
of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the chipset, Graphics,
Ethernet, and audio functions via a driver.
The standard automatic installation procedures for installing the drivers are described
in Chapter 3.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text files which
help users install the drivers and understand their functions. These files are a very
useful supplement to the information in this manual.
All the drivers are can be downloaded from the Advantech website.
Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-
installed system software prior to shipment of your panel PC.
