20) Install the desired
Operating System (OS)
Use the LAN Boot feature to load the boot (OS) image onto the hard
disk drive, or other media. (See Note below) Or
Locate the desired Operating System (OS) diskette(s) or CD-ROM and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the OS and the
necessary drivers.
For Windows Operating Systems, most of the necessary drivers are
found on the manufacturer’s installation CD-ROM.
For non-Windows Operating Systems, some or all of the necessary
drivers may be found on the manufacturer’s diskette(s) or CD-ROM.
If you require drivers that are not available on the OS manufacturer’s
diskette(s) or CD-ROM, refer to Installing Software, Drivers, and
Utilities in Chapter 2 and the software subdirectory on the
CoreModule 800 Doc & SW CD-ROM for the files and instructions.
NOTE The CoreModule 800 ships from the factory configured only for CRT
support. Ampro provides LCD/TFT support for flat panels with specific
resolutions. Refer to the CoreModule 800 Reference Manual, the
Release Notes, and Virtual Technician at http://ampro.custhelp.com for
instructions and additional information when customizing the BIOS to a
particular flat panel.
NOTE LAN Boot Feature – The LAN Boot process puts the Ethernet connection at the
top of the boot order, but it requires more than just selecting the correct BIOS
Setup options. You will also need a PXE server with its tools and utilities,
which Ampro does not provide. For the PXE BIOS settings and more
information refer to Appendix C of the CoreModule 800 Reference Manual.
