OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY
For KS systems with operating system in the Compact Flash Card,
once the Compact Flash is damaged for any reason, the thin client may fail to
boot.
A bootable new Compact Flash Card will be required to have the
workstation back to work . Please follow instructions given by the System
Integrator to deal with situations like that. One more advice for CF Card
application is that in spite of the fact that it is used in the way like an ordinary
HDD, usual utilities such as
FDISK.EXE or FORMAT.COM shall never be
used on CF Card otherwise the boot sector of operating system itself may be
damaged and causing the CF Card no longer bootable.
For KS systems preloaded with Windows XP Pro or WEPOS on HDD,
Posiflex provides recovery CD delivered with the touch terminal for the
preloaded operating system. The System Integrator shall take care of software
restoration after OS recovered. A Posiflex supplied USB interface CDROM
drive will be required for such action. Other brand CDROM drive may require
its specific driver different from what supported in the recovery CD.
Please use the recovery CD in rescue operation only. Using it
otherwise may wipe out whatever stored in the HDD! All upgrade devices
drivers needed for manual installation in usual way are available in the
subfolder “\drivers” in OS recove red HDD and the latest versions of these
required drivers will be available on our web: http://www.posiflex.com.tw.
Then follow instructions from your system integrator for software recovery.
OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This product is a highly professionalized equipment. The installation
of an OS into a machine without any preloaded OS could constitute major
difficulty for average user or obstacle by possibly unintentional negligence
even for PC veterans to accomplish such a task. Therefore, OS installation into
a system without preloaded OS is highly discouraged. Posiflex shall not be
responsible for any technical support to questions arisen due to non-preloaded
OS.
