PPC-S123 User's Manual
2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include
setup programs which load automatically and guide you through hard
disk preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines
below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your
operating system on the panel PC hard drive.
Note: Some distributors and system integrators may have
already pre-installed system software prior to ship-
ment of your panel PC.
Installing software requires an installed HDD. Software can be loaded
in the PPC-S123 using any of four methods:
2.4.1 Method 1: Use the Ethernet
You can use the Ethernet port to download software to the HDD.
2.4.2 Method 2: Use an FDD
The FDD port is located on the riser card as shown in Figure 3-10.
Attach a communication cable and a power cable to the FDD port, then
attach them to an FDD. Insert a disk containing the software and
consult your software manual for installation procedures.
2.4.3 Method 3: Use the COM or parallel port
You can use Lap Link 6 or similar transmission software. Connect
another PC to the PPC-S123 with an appropriate cable and transmit the
software to the PPC-S123.
2.4.4 Method 4: Use a 3.5" HDD or CD-ROM
Please refer to Section 3.4.2 "Secondary HDD/CD-ROM drive installa-
tion"
