2.4 Running the BIOS setup program
Your panel PC is likely to have been properly set up and configured by
your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the
panel PC's BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change
system configuration information, such as the current date and time or
your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory
(ROM). It can either be accessed when you turn on or reset the panel PC,
by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard immediately after turning the
computer on.

Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in
CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted dur-
ing the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message
will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup
program.

system installation. The following guidelines will help you determine the
necessary steps in installing your operating system on the panel PC hard

into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. The BIOS of the
panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the CDROM drive. You
may also insert your system installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive.
Turn on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the
"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automati-
cally load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM. If you are
