Chapter One: The Installation Express
If you are an experienced technician and have already installed Clean Screen PCs before, then
check out Chapter One: The Installation Express. It covers the major steps. If you are the least
bit unsure of any step, please resume reading the rest of the manual.
1. Review the Before You Begin section of the manual — especially its Safety Instructions.
2. Unpack the Clean Screen PC and save the packing.
3. If you need to open the unit to install an ISA adapter card, then read Chapter Three:
Hardware Installation and Replacement for details.
4. Connect the keyboard and peripherals. If you need any help, refer to Chapter Four: System
Setup.
5. Before connecting the power, make sure the power switch is in the off (O) position. Connect
the power.
To prevent damage to the Clean Screen ensure correct orientation of the
power connector before plugging it into the unit. Always secure the connector
in place before turning on the Clean Screen.
6. Turn on the unit.
7. Press <F2> immediately when prompted to enter the CMOS Setup. The screens are self-
explanatory.
8. If your system was purchased without an operating system, you will need to use a boot disk
to create disk partitions and format the HDD before installing your operating system.
9. Load any drivers necessary for your system from the IS Manager’s Kit. Follow the
Readme.doc and other information on the disks.
10. Load your application software.
11. You may want to read the rest of the manual. There are many helpful details about your new
Clean Screen PC, especially in the REFERENCE GUIDE section.
