8 Software / driver installation
8.1 Initial installation of the operating system
The device will be delivered with a pre-installed operating system depending on what the customer
wants. If the mass storage has been reformatted, the operating system can be reinstalled by using one
of the existing interfaces.
Installing operating system via a USB interface
1. Connect an external USB drive and a keyboard.
2. Restart the device and press the ESC key to call up the boot menu.
3. Insert an operating system CD into the the external drive.
4. In the boot menu, select booting from the external drive and start.
5. Installation of the operating system and configuration of the basic data.
6. With devices including touch-screens, the touch-screen driver as well as the soft keyboard
should be installed in order to ensure their full functionality.
Installing the operating system using PXE
Alternatively, the operating system can also be installed via a network using the PXE functionality (PXE
= Preboot Execution Environment). To do so, the appropriate BootROM Extension must first be
activated in the BIOS and then selected in the boot menu. The steps to be taken next depend on the
network environment and the operating system to be installed.
