If the system is to be booted from disk, this medium must always be
assigned drive A:. The network is always assigned to the C: drive during the
runup procedure. The hard disk can be assigned to the C: or D: drive. The
system can only be started from the hard disk if the disk has been
configured as the C: drive.
Corresponding to the Setup configuration the modular BEETLE /NetPOS
POS system can be booted from the following drives:
n
Floppy disk in drive A:
n
Hard disk in drive C:
n
CDROM in EL TORITO format
n
Network adapter with BOOTPROM
Please mind that the storage medium must be system-boot-capable.
The following priorities apply:
Floppy disk (A:)
High priority
Network (C:)
Medium priority
Hard disk (C:)
Low priority
As standard the POS system always attempts to boot from a disk first if it is
inserted in the respective drive.
If the POS system does not find a disk resp. a CD-ROM in drive A:, it
automatically continues the loading process from drive C:.
If drive A: contains a disk on which no operating system is stored, the POS
system cannot be booted. In this case, either replace the disk with one that
is system-boot-capable or remove the disk altogether.
The operating system responds with additional messages on the cashier
display or monitor, as shown in the illustration below.
