TS9000/TS9050 TouchStar Systems User Manual
POWER-UP
Before powering up the TouchStar for the first time, be sure it is
securely mounted, that all cable connections have been made,
and that the DC power cable is securely attached to the DC
connector on the rear panel.
The TouchStar computers do not have an ON/OFF switch. Both
models will power up immediately when they receive incoming
electrical power.
It is important to make all peripheral connec-
tions BEFORE powering up the TouchStar system.
To turn on the TS9000, plug the wall-mounted power supply
into a surge-protected 110VAC outlet. To eliminate potential
damage to the TS9000, be sure the power supply is removed
from the wall outlet before connecting or disconnecting the
power cord to the rear panel.
To turn on the TS9050, turn the DC power converter ON/OFF
switch to ON.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UTILITY (SCU)
The System Configuration Utility is accessed by pressing CTRL-
ALT-S on the keyboard when prompted during boot-up. This
prompt occurs just after the system memory tests. The system
settings (CMOS) may now be configured.
Start up
The Start up menu contains date and time, fast/normal boot
and boot device options.
Boot Device
Set the boot configuration to FULL if you are using DOS or
Windows 3.x operating systems.
Set the boot configuration to BOOT DEVICES only if you
are using Windows 95.
These options allow the sound and ethernet controllers to be
properly configured and activated. (see Ethernet and Sound
System Controller sections in Appendix B).
