Operating System (OS)

•  

Use the LAN Boot feature to load the boot (OS) image onto the hard

disk drive.  

Or

  

Locate the desired Operating System (OS) diskette(s) or CD-ROM

and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the OS and
the necessary drivers.

For Windows Operating Systems, some of the necessary drivers
may be found on the manufacturer’s installation CD-ROM.

For other Operating Systems, some or all of the necessary drivers
may be found on the manufacturer’s diskette(s) or CD-ROM.

•  



If you require drivers that are not available on the OS manufacturer’s

diskette(s) or CD-ROM, refer to Installing Software, Drivers, and
Utilities in Chapter 2 and the MightyBoard 800 software directory on
the MightyBoard 800 Doc & SW CD-ROM for instructions.

NOTE

The MightyBoard 800 ships from the factory configured for CRT support
only.  Ampro provides an LVDS flat panel cable in the QuickStart Kit
and support for flat panels with specific resolutions.

If you have questions about flat panels, contact Technical Support
through Virtual Technician on the Ampro web site for help in setting up
the flat panel configurations.  Refer also to the MightyBoard 800
Reference Manual and the Release Notes for additional instructions and
information when customizing the BIOS to a particular flat panel.

NOTE

USB Boot Support – If you wish to boot from a USB device, you
must select the device in the BIOS Setup Utility under Drive
Assignments (USB floppy, USB HDD, or USB CD-ROM) and then
select USB Boot Support under Advanced features.

LAN Boot Feature – The LAN Boot feature puts the Ethernet
connection at the top of the boot order, but it requires more than just
selecting the correct BIOS Setup options.  You will also need a PXE
server with its tools and utilities, which Ampro does not provide.  For
more information, including the PXE BIOS settings, refer to
Appendix B of the MightyBoard 800 Reference Manual.  There is
also information in LAN Boot subdirectory under the Software menu
on the MightyBoard 800 Doc & SW CD-ROM.

NOTE

The CMOS Normal/Clear jumper (JP2) resets the CMOS and the
Time and Date of the BIOS to Jan 1, 1980; 00:00.  See Jumper
settings in Table 1-1 and Figure 1-5.

If you need to reset the BIOS to the defaults because you can’t boot
the system, use the Oops! Jumper referenced in the MightyBoard 800
Reference Manual.  The Oops! Jumper prevents the current BIOS
settings in Flash memory from being loaded, forcing the BIOS to use
the default settings, but does not change the Time & Date in the BIOS.
The MightyBoard 800 Reference Manual provides a more detailed
discussion of how to create and use the Oops! Jumper.
