Getting Started
First Power up
License Agreement
Limitations on your usage of the Microsoft Windows Operating System are noted in Microsoft's End
User License Agreement (EULA). This EULA is included on the recovery media containing the
software required to reinstall the operating system. Read this document before the first power-up.
To customize and set the system parameters during the first power-up of your Slim Panel, refer to
the Industrial Personal Computer Installation guide.
Windows Embedded (WES)
The WES is a modularized version of the Windows operating system that provides increased
reliability and customizations. It offers the power and familiarity of Windows in a compact, more
reliable form. For more information, refer to Microsoft Windows Embedded Web page.
WES provides many tools for the customization of menus, boot screens, and dialog boxes. With
WES, you can remove the Windows boot and resume animations so the screen remains black
during startup. You can also remove the Windows logo from the login screen and other startup
screens. Other common features of Windows include the message and dialog boxes. WES can
filter these messages and keep them from appearing during run time. The developer can choose
to hide any dialog box and predefine its default operation so it never displays to the user.
EWF Manager (only on WES7)
The Industrial Personal Computer operating system is installed on a memory card. This card is a
rewritable CFast card that enables 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 CFast card. The EWF manager loads temporary data (for example,
system updates and software operations) into RAM, and does not write this information to the
CFast card.
As a result, when using the EWF manager, restarting the Slim Panel overwrites changes that the
user has made to the system. The following types of changes may be overwritten 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 (such as IP addresses or default gateways).

Operating System customizations (such as desktop background).
