First Power-up
License Agreement
NOTE: Limitations on your usage of the Windows® Operating System are noted in
Microsoft's End User License Agreement (EULA). Please read this document before
first powering-up.
On first power-up of your PS-B unit, refer to "PS4000 Series Installation Guide".
EWF Manager (Enhanced Write Filter Manager)
The PS-B unit CF Card model operating system, Windows® Embedded Standard
2009, is installed on a memory card. This card is a re-writable "Compact Flash" card
that allows approximately 100,000 write operations.
The EWF Manager (Enhanced Write Filter Manager) minimizes the number of write
operations to help extend the life of the CF Card. It loads temporary data (for
example, system updates and software operations) into RAM, and does not write
this information to the CF Card.
As a result, when using the EWF Manager, restarting the PS-B unit causes any
changes the user made to the system to be cancelled. The following types of
modifications may be cancelled if the EWF Manager is active and the system is
restarted:

Newly installed applications.

Newly installed peripherals.

Newly created or modified user accounts.

Network configuration changes (e.g. IP address, default gateway, and so on.)

Operating System customizations (e.g.background pictures, and so on.)
NOTICE
DATA AND CONFIGURATION LOSS

Disable the EWF Manager before making any permanent changes to the
hardware, software, or Operating System of the PS-B unit. Confirm that the
EWF icon in the Windows system tray has a red "X".

Re-enable the EWF Manager after making permanent changes and confirm that
the EWF icon in the Windows system tray does not have a red "X". This can help
extend the operating life of the CF Card.

Back up all CF Card data regularly to another storage media.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
