Make the Automation PC USB stick bootable.
To be able to boot the Automation PC from a USB-stick three settings from the factory
default settings in the BIOS have to be changed. In principle this has to be done only
once in the Automation PC’s life time. To do this, a monitor with a DVI-connector and a
keyboard is needed:
-
Be sure the just created bootable USB-stick is inserted in a free slot of the VC-
computer.
-
Connect the monitor and a keyboard to the Automation PC
-
Turn on the power by putting in the 24 volts power cable into the Automation PC.
-
Turn on the power of the power supply and press immediately <Del> repeatedly to
get into the BIOS setup. Next main menus will then appear on the screen:
Main Advanced Boot Security Power Exit
1) Select from the <Advanced> menu, the sub-menu <USB Configuration> and
change <USB Stick Default Emulation>
USB Stick Default Emulation [Hard Disk]
Into
USB Stick Default Emulation [Auto]
2) Select <
►USB Mass Storage Device Configuration>, also from the <USB
Configuration> sub-menu. Default this menu-entry is not on the screen, but by
scrolling all the way down it becomes visible.
When the bootable stick is inserted, then it is listed. Change the <Emulation
Type> of that stick:
Emulation Type
[Auto]
Into
Emulation Type
[Forced FDD]
3) Change in the the <Boot> menu, <1st Boot Device>
1st Boot Device
[Primary Master]
Into
1st Boot Device
[USB Removable Devi]
And be sure in the <Boot> menu, <2nd Boot Device> is:
2nd Boot Device
[Primary Master]
-
Finally select <Save Changes and Exit> from the <Exit> menu
-
If something has accidently screwed up, then change the BIOS to its factory
default setting
