Chapter 2 System Setup
31
The BIOS of the panel PC supports system boot-up directly from the
CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM into
the CD-ROM drive. Refer to Chapter 8 - BIOS Setup if you wish to change
the BIOS settings.
Power on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the
"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically
load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.
If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation
program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you
through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating
system.
If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as
A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually copy
the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual
for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.
2.8 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet,
SVGA, audio, and touchscreen functions. All the drivers are stored in a CD-
ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" which can be found in your
accessory box.
The standard procedures for installing the Ethernet, SVGA, audio, and
touchscreen drivers are described in Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text
files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions.
These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.
Note: The drivers and utilities used for the PPC-A84T panel PCs
are subject to change without notice. If in doubt, check
Advantech's web site or contact our application engineers
for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.
