2.3 Setup Procedures
2.3.1 System Power On
1. Connect the device to the (12V/5A or 12V/7A) power adapter provided in the
shipment.
2. Hold the power cord by the plugs ends only. Refer to Section 2.2 for the location
of the DC power input and power switch.
3. Press the power switch to activate the system.
2.3.2 BIOS Setup
In most cases, the system setup and configuration will be completed by the vendor or
system integrator prior to delivery. However, users may still need to access the BIOS
setup utility to adjust the system configuration settings, such as the date/time or hard
drive type. The setup utility is stored in read-only memory (ROM) and can be accessed
following a system reset or by pressing the <Del> key after powering on the computer.
The settings configured in the BIOS setup utility are recorded in CMOS RAM memory,
which is backed up by a battery to ensure the settings are retained after the system
is powered off. When booting up, the system compares the settings stored in CMOS
RAM with the POST self-test results. If a discrepancy is found, an error message is
displayed on screen and users are prompted to run the setup pro- gram.
2.3.3 Software Installation
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs
that load automatically and guide users through hard disk preparation and operating
system installation. Some distributors and system integrators may have already
installed software prior to shipping the product.
Note! Before software or driver installation, the system must be equipped with
additional storage that must be purchased separately.
2.3.4 Driver Installation
After installing the system software, users can setup the Ethernet, XGA, audio, and
touchscreen functions.
Note! The relevant drivers and utilities are subject to change without notice.
