Getting Started
The Base R4 computer system does not include a solid state drive or operating system. These can be added
at the time of purchase and will be installed by Sealevel’s experienced technicians. If you purchase the
computer with a solid state drive, the OS and all necessary software drivers will be preinstalled.
If you wish to install the operating system yourself, you will need to install the applicable drivers. Some
drivers apply to the hardware on the COM Express module; some are for devices present on the carrier
board. The following table lists the devices that will require drivers.

SYSTEM STARTUP
To start the system, be sure that all I/O cards are properly seated then apply power to the system via the
supplied external power supply. The system will automatically start up upon application of power. This is a
function of the BIOS and the setting should never be changed from the “Power On’ setting. The system
does not feature an external power button so it relies on this BIOS setting for proper power up when power
is applied.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The computer system must be shut down
before
any I/O expansion cards are inserted or
removed. Ensure the front Power LED is OFF before adding or removing any I/O cards.
