Basic Operation
Power-Up
Before powering up the VRC for the first time, be sure the terminal
is securely mounted, and that all cable and peripheral connections
are securely attached.
Caution:
In freezer applications, do not start the VRC 5000 with
color display in the cold environment. This can damage
the fluorescent bulbs.
•
To power up the VRC 5000, plug the wall-mounted power
supply into a surge-protected 110VAC outlet.
Caution:
To eliminate potential damage to the VRC 5000, remove
the power supply from the wall outlet before connecting
or disconnecting the power supply to the rear panel.
•
To power up the VRC 5040, turn the DC power converter
ON/OFF switch to ON.
The VRC powers up immediately when power is applied, and
performs the following steps:
1. The VRC conducts a power-on self-test, runs the hardware
initialization program, and then boots DOS. (If your system
does not boot, or does not have a factory-installed version of
DOS, refer to Installing the DOS Operating System in the
VRC 4000/5000 Product Reference Guide.)
2. The VRC processes the config.sys and autoexec.bat start-up
files from the boot drive, typically the Flash Drive (C:\).
3. When the boot process is completed, the C:\ prompt displays
on the screen.
4. If Windows is installed, the system loads the Windows graph-
ical user interface.
