Basic Operation

Power-Up

Before powering up the VRC for the first time, be sure the terminal 
is securely mounted, and that all cable and peripheral connections  
are securely attached. 

Caution:

In freezer applications, do not start the VRC 5000 with 
color display in the cold environment. This can damage  
the fluorescent bulbs.

To power up the VRC 5000, plug the wall-mounted power 
supply into a surge-protected 110VAC outlet. 

Caution:

To eliminate potential damage to the VRC 5000, remove 
the power supply from the wall outlet before connecting 
or disconnecting the power supply to the rear panel.

To power up the VRC 5040, turn the DC power converter 
ON/OFF switch to ON.

The VRC powers up immediately when power is applied, and 
performs the following steps:

1. The VRC conducts a power-on self-test, runs the hardware 

initialization program, and then boots DOS. (If your system 
does not boot, or does not have a factory-installed version of 
DOS, refer to Installing the DOS Operating System in the 
VRC 4000/5000 Product Reference Guide.) 

2. The VRC processes the config.sys and autoexec.bat start-up 

files from the boot drive,  typically the Flash Drive (C:\). 

3. When the boot process is completed, the C:\ prompt displays 

on the screen. 

4. If Windows is installed, the system loads the Windows graph-

ical user interface.
