needed to act as a bridge. There are three major ways to load
software into the system.

FDD port via the provided external FDD cable.26-pin FDD
connector must be plugged into the system FDD
connector; the 34-pin standard 3.5” FDD signal connector

standard 3.5” FDD. Then, configure the system BIOS setup
and insert a 3.5” disk containing necessary software and
start the installation.

Use Ethernet: If the Ethernet BOOTROM is already included
in the system, the user can boot up the system via
BOOTROM and download system O/S or application
software from the net.

CD-ROM or HDD for software installation on P PANEL PC
