OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY
For KS-6812 systems with operating system in the Compact Flash
Card if the system is installed with the CF card reader, once the Compact Flash
is damaged for any reason, the thin client may fail to boot. A bootable new
Compact Flash Card will be required to have the workstation back to
work. Please follow instructions given by the System Integrator to deal with
situations like that. One more advice for CF Card application is that in spite of
the fact that it is used in the way like an ordinary HDD, usual utilities such as
FDISK.EXE or FORMAT.COM shall never be used on CF Card
otherwise the boot sector of operating system itself may be damaged and
causing the CF Card no longer bootable.
For KS-6812 systems preloaded with Windows XP Pro or WEPOS on
HDD, Posiflex provides recovery DVD delivered with the touch terminal for
the preloaded operating system. The System Integrator shall take care of
software restoration after OS recovered. A Posiflex supplied USB interface
COMBO drive will be required for such action. Other brand COMBO drive
may require its specific driver different from what supported in the recovery
DVD.
Please use the recovery DVD in rescue operation only. Using it
otherwise may wipe out whatever stored in the HDD! All upgrade devices
drivers needed for manual installation in usual way are available in the
subfolder “\drivers” in OS recovered HDD and the latest versions of these
required drivers will be available on our web: http://www.posiflex.com.tw
.
Then follow instructions from your system integrator for software recovery.
OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This product is a highly professionalized equipment. The installation
of an OS into a machine without any preloaded OS could constitute major
difficulty for average user or obstacle by possibly unintentional negligence
even for PC veterans to accomplish such a task. Therefore, OS installation into
a system without preloaded OS is highly discouraged. Posiflex shall not be
responsible for any technical support to questions arisen due to non-preloaded
OS.
