Introduction
This section tells you how to prepare the computer for first-
time operation and includes instructions for attaching or
installing certain options or peripheral equipment. Once
the computer has successfully booted to the operating sys-
tem you may need to load an application program or data.
Startup Requirements
Before powering up the computer for the first time, be sure
it is securely mounted, that all cable connections are secure,
and that the DC power input cable is firmly attached.
The computer begins its startup (“boot”) sequence when
power is supplied to the DC power input connector and the
On/Off switch is
ON
(press the 1 side of the switch). In the
case of an AC-powered (fixed-mount) computer, the power
supply must be connected to the computer
and
plugged into
a wall outlet. Vehicle mounts require that the dc-dc power
converter be properly connected to the vehicle batteries and
to the computer.
